Annual cooling load VS total equipment cooling load
I'm working on a SketchUp model with OpenStudio.
The model includes:
- Heating loop with electric boiler and water baseboard;
- Cooling loop with electric chiller and cooling coil in HVAC loop;
- Somes electric preheat coil, VAV reheat, electric baseboard, PTAC and DX cooling coil.
The objective is to compare the loads from:
- Heating (2208 MBtu) and Cooling (1001 MBtu) annual loads from HVAC Load Profiles from OpenStudio Report
to:
- Sum of heating equipement + Boiler load (efficiency = 1) (heating coil loop)
- Sum of cooling equipement + Chiller load (COP = 6.5) (Cooling coil loop)
I noted that annual heating load (2208 MBtu) equal to Boiler load (1155 MBtu) + heating equipment excluding heating coil (1054 MBtu).
The problem is for the cooling load. Annual cooling load (1001 MBtu) dot not equal to Chiller load (959 MBtu) + cooling equipment excluding cooling coil (324 MBtu).
What can explain this disparity?
