NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance
I have to model electric unit heaters in HAP for spaces like Stairs, Trash rooms, Vestibules etc. The issue is that the Stairs are already served by heat pumps and electric unit heaters will turn on only to maintain the space setpoint when the heat pump is not sufficient. How should I model a schedule for this type of system in HAP? Also how do I model a system like this without double counting the stairs in baseline and proposed cases?
