1 Objectives Discuss Project 1 (eQUEST) Learn about HVAC Systems
Learn about weather data Discuss Internal Building Loads Thermostat Setpoints Learn about HVAC Systems

2 eQUEST (DOE2) US Department of Energy & California utility customers
eQUEST - interface for the DOE-2 solver DOE-2 - one of the most widely used ES program - recognized as the industry standard eQUEST very user friendly interface Good for life-cycle cost and parametric analyses Not very large capabilities for modeling of different HVAC systems Many simplified models Certain limitations related to research application - no capabilities for detailed modeling

3 Weather File Typical Meteorological Year TMY, TMY2, TMY3

4 Internal Loads

5 Energy consumption: kWh/year
Units are in kW/h per year

6 eQUEST HVAC Models Predefined configuration (no change)
Divided according to the cooling and heating sources Details in e quest help file: For example: DX CoilsNo Heating Packaged Single Zone DX (no heating) Packaged single zone air conditioner with no heating capacity, typically with ductwork. Split System Single Zone DX (no heating) Central single zone air conditioner with no heating, typically with ductwork. System has indoor fan and cooling coil and remote compressor/condensing unit. Packaged Terminal AC (no heating) Packaged terminal air conditioning unit with no heating and no ductwork. Unit may be window or through-wall mounted. Packaged VAV (no heating) DX CoilsFurnace Packaged direct expansion cooling system with no heating capacity. System includes a variable volume, single duct fan/distribution system serving multiple zones each with it's own thermostatic control. Packaged Single Zone DX with Furnace Central packaged single zone air conditioner with combustion furnace, typically with ductwork. Split System Single Zone DX with Furnace Central single zone air conditioner with combustion furnace, typically with ductwork. System has indoor fan and cooling coil and remote compressor/condensing unit. Packaged Multizone with Furnace Packaged direct expansion cooling system with combustion furnace. System includes a constant volume fan/distribution system serving multiple zones, each with its own thermostat. Warm and cold air are mixed for each zone to meet thermostat control requirements.

7 Building HVAC Systems (Primary and Secondary Building Systems)
AHU – Air Handling Unit Distribution systems Fresh air For ventilation AHU Primary systems Air transport Electricity Secondary systems Cooling (chiller) Heating (boilers) Building envelope HVAC systems affect the energy efficiency of the building as much as the building envelope (or Gas) Gas

8 Integration of HVAC and building physics models
Load System Plant model Building Qbuiolding Heating/Cooling System Q including Ventilation and Dehumidification Plant Integrated models Building Heating/Cooling System Plant

9 Characteristic parameters
Conduction (and accumulation) solution method finite dif (explicit, implicit), response functions Time steps Meteorological data Radiation and convection models (extern. & intern.) Windows and shading Infiltration models Conduction to the ground HVAC and control models
