Pre-configured Service Water Heating Systems
Calculation of Design Energy Cost/Energy Cost Budget and Calculation of the Proposed/Baseline Building Performance.
OpenBuildings Energy Simulator provides pre-configured Service Water Heating systems that can be used for the Calculation of Design Energy Cost/Energy Cost Budget and Calculation of the Proposed/Baseline Building Performance that comply with the ASHRAE 90.1 standard’s Section 11.3 and Appendix G.3.1 requirements. The following table lists all the available pre-configured Service Water Heating systems and information regarding their fuel type.
| Available SWH Systems | Fuel |
| Service Water Heating Stand-Alone Electric | Electric |
| Service Water Heating Stand-Alone Natural Gas | Natural gas heating coil |
Tip: The budget
building and baseline buildings can be created at simulation time using the
controls found on the Calculate tab of the
Simulation dialog -
Calculate tab. There is also and
option to create baseline buildings (ASHRAE 90.1 - 2004 and 2007 baseline
buildings) on the pop-up menu associated with the
Building object
in the
OpenBuildings Energy Simulator Project Tree dialog.
Tip:
Pre-configured HVAC systems must be added to your building design using the HVAC
Manager dialog options and settings.
Note: OpenBuildings Energy Simulator also provides
pre-configured HVAC
systems for the Calculation of Design Energy Cost/Energy Cost Budget and
Calculation of the Proposed/Baseline Building Performance.
