Dear all
I am simulating a super-high rise building of 300m, the HVAC is VAV
with Elec reheat. The energy consumption for proposed is shown as below.
The results shows that the fans consumes 15% of the total energy while the
pump takes only 2%, and I'm doubting it.
Is the results reasonable? Could anyone tell me the reason?
Attached is the inp and pd2 files.
Thanks a lot

Aaron,
One thing I notice is that you have roof surfaces on many of your
interior spaces. This is modeling heat transfer to/from the exterior
where it does not exist. Remove these and I'm guessing your cooling
energy, pump energy and fan energy will all change.
