Happy Friday,
I have an energy model of a community center constructed in EQUEST. The
community center has an ice rink incorporated into it which contains a low-e
ceiling as
well as full heat recovery. We were playing around with some combinations of
having a low-e ceiling in our model and as it turns out, there is not much
savings
between having a low-e ceiling and not having one (about $1,000 a year in
savings with the low-e) in our model.
Has anyone else played around with this and noticed it as well? We are
suspecting that you cannot gain much savings through the use of low-e when
full heat
recovery is present. Can anyone confirm this or give any comments?
Thank you,
Justin Elkin, LEEDR Green Associate
