Is there any hope for heat recovery or heat pump chiller functionality in OpenStudio?
I know this was on the Master OpenStudio HVAC Roadmap for a long time but the priority kept getting bumped and seems to be abandoned (from what I can tell) with the direction of OpenStudio 2.0.
This continues to be the major limiting factor of OS that requires us to routinely leave OS and proceed in EnergyPlus. It’s a fairly standard application for commercial buildings and it’s something we explore or design on almost every project.
Are there any creative solutions or objects in OS to achieve heat recovery chiller functionality? Please share your experiences, or frustrations, with trying to model heat recovery or heat pump chiller applications in OS.
