July 22, 2015 BSUG: Simulation Engine Loads Comparison and Heat Pump Calculator Preview
A macro-free, single zone Heat Pump Energy Savings Calculator (HePESC) workbook is currently under development by the Integrated Design Lab in Boise, Idaho. As part of the calculator vetting process, an in-depth loads analysis was done comparing the heat gain results with those from EnergyPlus and eQuest. Comparisons were made for lighting, plug loads, infiltration, glazing solar heat gain, zone temperature, and overall building loads. Through these comparisons, it is obvious the simulations use differing calculation methods which result in varying final outputs. This presentation will give a brief overview of the heat pump calculator project and progress, then further discuss the loads results from the simulation studies and possible next steps.
