[Bldg-sim] Refrigeration Modeling in eQuest

1 post / 0 new

Hello all.

I am fairly new to eQuest. I am currently modeling an 800 sf
convenience store. Envelope, Lighting, HVAC, and DHW components have
all been inputted.

I am having a hard time finding a way to input refrigeration in terms of
display cases. The components are listed below:

(1) self-contained ice maker

(1) remote roof-top mid-temp condenser for:
a 1 door cooler
a sandwich case
a 3 door cooler

(1) remote roof-top low-temp condenser for:
a reach-in freezer

Currently I have these modeled as self contained units which cause
cooling needs in the summer. When I take out these components all
together, I need cooling in the summer and tremendous space heating in
the winter.

If the heat is exhausted outside then the HVAC will only have to
compensate for the cooling? Then how would the power requirements be
modeled?

Please let me know the best way to approach this. I picked this as
small beginner project but do you think the refrigeration component
pushes this over my head?

Thanks.
