Hi,
We have a project where only two floors of a whole building (>5 floors) will be certified under commercial interiors.
The system is DOAS, radiative heating and cooling, and heat pumps.
We know what the size and efficiency of these equipment (SFP for DOAS fans and COP for the heat pump) are, however if one is to only model the two floors using the same efficiencies then the part-load efficiencies will be low since the demand for the two floors is much lower compared to the whole building and this might not reflect the real performance.
Generating the baseline building model will, on the other hand, size the equipment precisely for the two floors making it unfair to the proposed building model.
How should one approach this issue?
