Dear all,
We are working with a logistics center located in Lelystad, Netherlands, it has a warehouse zone of approximately 124,640 m2. According to ASHRAE, this region is catalogued as a climatic zone type 5, therefore this project is considered as ‘conditioned’ according to Table 3.1 Heated Space Criteria (heating output 15 Btu/h ft2). Currently there is a debate regarding the warehouse’s conditioning considerations which is either installing an only heating system or a heating and cooling system. Our inquiry is regarding the baseline system selection. If the selected system has heating and cooling, the warehouse’s baseline system should be a System 7 or System 8?
But if the selected system is an only heating system, the warehouse should be a System 9 or System 10? Or could it still be between a System 7 or 8 with its cooling temperature setpoints so that the cooling never operates?
Thank you very much in advance.
