I am a firm believer in the KISS principle. I also favor function over form.
Creating an extremely complex energy model to compare against a baseline that has no bearing on reality seems a bit silly to me. Especially when the modeling software doesn?t include the functionality to model the proposed design (DOAS serving compartment fans serving series fan powered boxes that have a dual-max control strategy). You have to use a work-around anyway so why not use a modeling software that will run in 4 minutes vs. one that takes 23 hours because you decided to through in a few EMS controls but you didn?t take time to program an EMS to model the humification as control as designed.
