This tab is used to specify the performance characteristics of a unit of equipment. This screen includes the specification of Load Factors in setting the Design Consumption Rate of equipment. The information entered on this tab contributes to the Energy Efficiency Index report and the GAS Index report.
Example #1: The Range Details are set as follows for the Equipment (HVAC-1) performance:
Load Range (percentage) |
Design Consumption Rate |
---|---|
0 – 29 |
0.28 MWH / DAY |
30 – 85 |
0.22 MWH / DAY |
86 – 100 |
0.35 MWH / DAY |
The Default Load Factor (the load at which the equipment will normally operate) is set to 55 (on a scale of 0 – 100).
