Hi,
I am working on a Mixed Hotel Project with Amenities and Residences in a Hot and Dry Climate, Zone 1B.
The Fresh AHUs (with Energy Recovery Wheels) are equipped with a A Steam Humidifier (Heating Source Electric Resistance) to keep acceptable Relative Humidity Levels at the occupied Spaces due to the Dry Weather Conditions at the Site.
The Question is how to Model the Steam Humidifier in the Baseline Systems ( The Systems are mainly System 2 and System 6).
Or is it acceptable to model the Steam Humidifier as a process Load similarly in the proposed and Baseline Models?
Thank you,

Correct, it is a process load and should be modeled identically.
