COP and ERR properties of HVAC systems

1

Hi Everyone,

I did simulation for a single building with various heating systems, such as air source heat pumps and water source heat pumps(using HB HeaCool HVAC template). My question is, is there any component that I could extract directly corresponding cop/ERR of the simulated system? If not, with the available components, how can I manually calculate them?

Many thanks in advance

Hi @Elenai, you can use _add_str input to add an output of the simulation for COP
for instance:

Output:Variable,
  *,                         !- Key Value
  VRF Heat Pump COP,         !- Variable Name
  hourly;                    !- Reporting Frequency

the file to get the output variables is the *.rdd file created from the simulation.

and to get the results you would use something like the following:

Hopefully that’s helpful
