Revision history [back]

At the risk of starting a war on a Friday, I want to try to use UH to crowd-source some information about features available in various engines. For each of the following features, I am looking for one answer per engine and each answer to consist of a list of yes/no/partial/user-hook to the ability to model each of the following. Feel free to append to the list if you want to expand scope.

1. Dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS)
2. Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems
3. Variable-speed drives
4. Commercial refrigeration
5. Air-source heat-pump
6. Water-source heat-pump
7. Ground-source heat-pump
8. Multi-function heat-pump
9. Radiant heating
10. Radiant cooling
11. Evaporative cooling
12. Absorption chiller
13. Condensing boiler

Update: it would be good if this table (see Google Spreadsheet linked from @JulienMarrec answer) could be completed soon so that I can use it in a DOE document. Thanks everyone. Any DOE-2.1E (@JoeHuang) and HAP experts out there?

Also note 10 additional rows added to spreadsheet.
