I have a residential building, heating only (radiators) with natural ventilation. Per Ashrae I must model the baseline building as a Packaged terminal air conditioner (Ptac) system. I've also been told I must model my proposed building as a Ptac system as well because I cannont take credit for designing a system without cooling.
1) Does this make sense?
2) If that is how I am to model my system, I will have additional fan energy from the months trace is simulating cooling. Can this additional fan energy be subtracted from my model?
Thanks.
