I was given a model that was fully operational.
So I removed the whole functional, yet obsolete, HVAC system and inserted a new one with ideal loads, for I need to know what are the exact loads that the building is experiencing and refurbish the envelope accordingly.
The thing now is that, after running my new model and comparing it with the former one, I seem to have loads that are around 4 to 7 times higher for each zone.
I mean, the former HVAC system was really poorly design, but THAT poorly? It is also known that the building's envelope is terrible when it comes to thermal insulation.
Or is it likely that my new model isn't running properly?
Thanks in advance for any help.
