Dear All,

I am working on a model using the DES option 1 for supplying steam to my
building (district heating only so system 3). The baseline and proposed
have working steam meters and all looks well. My problem arose when I
went to fill in the new Section 1.4 tables for the pumping which brought
my attention to the fact that both models had auto-sized gpm flow and
pump size.

The auto sized values are WAY lower than the values on the mechanical
schedules! Auto-sized proposed model = 23gpm and .325kW...designed
proposed model = 141gpm and 11kW! Auto-sized baseline = 33 gpm and
0.467kW. If I input corrected pump size as per G3.1.3.5 this will give
me a baseline pump of 0.627kW. I'm worried that if I correct the
proposed pump size and flow to the designed numbers it will destroy my
energy cost savings.

Attached are the files for both models.

Thank you all,
