Trace for Calibrated Model?

Has anyone had success using Trace for calibrated energy models? I need to
calibrate a geothermal water-water heat pump system for a 32ksf office
building and I really don't feel like using eQuest and doing a bunch of
ECMs/performance curve generation.

I personally have not used Trace for a calibrated model before, but I know people who have. It's not really a question of software.? I'd say use whatever software you are most familiar and competent with.?

Yes. To me it all depends on the quality of your metered data. Scott Hintz CEM, LEED-AP BD+C, BEMP HVAC & Energy Sustaining Systems Engineering (SSE) [cid:image004.png at 01CD23AD.33999530] Federal Technical Services PO Box 21025, M/C: ISC-4011 Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899
