NC-2009 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance

Modeling Heat Recovering Chillers for the Baseline

Hello,

I want to know which the energy savings are comparing a Heat Recovery Air Cooled Chiller in the Proposed Building versus it´s equivalent in the Baseline Building.

The question is that there is not such a chiller machine specified in Standard 90.1-2007 Table 6.8, so, which would be the best approach model for the Baseline since I have to includ both chilling and heating equipment.

This simulation is not inteded to reflect comfort equipment, just want to know how efficient this recovery chiller is.

Thank you,

The baseline system for comparison is determined by Table G3.1.1A. This selection has nothing to do with the chiller used in the proposed design unless it is also your heating source.

It is my heating source, I am having chilled and hot water simultaneously

Assuming the fuel source is then electric you enter Table G3.1.1A in that column.
