Hi Fredrico,

Also please check the fan/pump supply heads and efficiency values

Consumption

Hello All:

In a recent project, my model doesn't have a designed HVAC system, so I'm
modeling my proposed the same as the baseline. Baseline system is #8
(chilled water) with FPF's, climate zone 1. Even though I'm getting lower
cooling loads for the proposed building, the electric load corresponding to
cooling the building is higher than the baseline. Fans and pumps consumption
is increasing this value. What can be causing this, how can this value be
reduced?

Thanks!
Federico
