Inquiry
How should woodstoves be modeled in the HERS Index, if they are used to provide auxiliary heating? The Northeast HERS Alliance guidance suggests that woodstoves be included in the model if it is the only heating system or if the primary heating system is designed not to meet the entire load.
Ruling
The Northeast HERS Alliance guidance should be followed for the purposes of modeling in EA 1: woodstoves or other non-conventional heating appliances should be included in the model if it is the only heating system or if the primary heating system is designed not to meet the entire load.
