Hi,

Does anyone know if there are plans to add multi-speed fan capability to the Zone Water to Air Heat Pump model in Energy Plus?

I'm a little surprised that the only option is On/Off, many products have variable speed fan options.

Thank you! Graham

E+, like all software, is gradually improved as new trends emerge and technology becomes available and popular. I know that E+ development has a long list of recommended and planned improvements, but don't know if variable speed fans for heat pumps is on the list. You might reach out to the E+ Help Desk (http://energyplus.helpserve.com/) to ask about this and request it if it's not already on the list.
