HVAC Session Agenda • Alternate Paths for HVAC Assessment Tool Development • Proposed Phasing of Development • Review of Proposed Inputs and Actions • Wrap-Up
Stand-Alone Modules • Advantages • Incremental Development • Exposed Algorithms • Fast Development? • Fast Calculations? • Disadvantages • Cumulative Errors • Limited Interaction Between Measures • Limited Testing of “Engine” • Needs New Support System
Simulation Approach • Advantages • Accuracy of Models • Interaction of Measures • Engine Already Tested • Leverages ExistingResources • Supports a Wider Varietyof Systems • Built-in Support • Disadvantages • All Eggs in One Basket • Potential Licensing Issues • More Complex Engine
Unknowns • Development Time • Development Cost • Other …
The program supports libraries of utility rates Sample Screens from eQuest Wizard
Selection of a cooling source changes subsequent screens Sample Screens from eQuest Wizard
All types of economizers are currently available And integrated with the other system characteristics Sample Screens from eQuest Wizard
You can have different pumping systems You can have different types of chillers in a single plant Sample Screens from eQuest Wizard
Proposed Phasing of HVAC Tool • Air-Cooled DX Equipment • Water-Cooled DX Equipment • Chilled Water Equipment • Liquid Cooling
