Hi everyone!
I would like to ask you for some help or guidance with DES heating modellling in baseline building especially with setting up a system parameters like energy efficiency, temeprature resets ect.
This is my first LEED-2009 CS project with DES heating and I'm already a little bit confused how to model it correctly. We chose an Option 1 (the building stand-alone scenario) and from what I have read in DES v2 Guidance it is not clear to me if the baseline heating source has to be modelled with exactly the same energy efficiency, the same temeprature resets and pump power like in Proposed building or it should follow the Appendix G with minimum efficiency requirements and resets stated in sections 6 to 9 of the ASHRAE 90.1 standard. To be more precise, is the Baseline heating source modelled exactly as the Proposed heating source with Option1 or not?
Thank you very much in advance for any help. I need it so much because now I'm not able to complete the simulation...
