Hi All,

I'm working on a project investigating retrofitting an existing building with a ground-source heat pump system, and my immediate objective is to determine an hourly load profile on heat pumps from a building simulation provided to me. Typically we receive hourly load profiles in CSV format, but for this project we need to take a step back and extract the load profile from the building simulation itself. The building's current system is packaged rooftop DX cooling with electric resistance heat. What variables would give me the hourly loads / demands on the heating and cooling plants? Also, is there a corresponding summary report (along the lines of the PS-A or SS-D report) that reports the same information (i.e. demand or load on the central plant) as monthly totals and peaks?

Thanks,

Drew Morrison
