![]() See our example file “Existing+Alterations+Addition.bld” for an example. In the case of an attached Garage conversion, this is considered an Addition, and the floor space of the Garage is input as New at the Zone (no it is not an Alteration). When modeling an ADU, there are several circumstances to consider. There are a lot of online resources to help you understand the energy code including trainings offered by the utilities. In addition, getting a better idea of what the Standard Building looks like so you will understand the budget would be a good idea. Solar Thermal Domestic Hot Water System.More efficient Fans and Variable Air Volume Systems (Non-residential).Heat Pump Water Heater (once again, this will help with the emissions score).Ducts and Air Handlers in Conditioned Space.HERS Verified High cfm/ton air system designs.High Efficiency Heat Pumps (remember, you must also comply with the emissions score).High Efficiency Air Conditioner (15 SEER+).Reductions in your Window and or Skylight area (remember, 20% is the limit).In Heating Climates (Zones 1, 3, 5, 16) Windows with a higher SHGC will help matters.In Cooling Climates, Windows with a lower SHGC.However, we do realize the new codes are much tougher so we have compiled some ideas below for you to consider. Our software support services are confined to issues related to running the software, not how to design a building to be in compliance so this is not something you should contact us about. This would require us to review a detailed set of plans and specifications for the project. You will need to model this as electric heat. You cannot input the Heat Pump Water Heater as ANY source of hot water for either a Hydronic Heating System, nor for a Combined Hydronic Heating System. In this circumstance, the CEC requires you to model this as Electric Heat. Note that you cannot use a Heat Pump Water Heater as the heating source for the home. Note that for NEEA rated models, the efficiency is not relevant since the NEEA selections contain performance curves specific to that model. Note that sometimes the Uniform Energy Factor may be listed as the COP in the data.įor residential projects (single family, multifamily, hotel/motel), you may select a model that has been tested by the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) by clicking on the “Select NEEA HP” button on the dialog. Enter the Volume, Uniform Energy Factor and Input Rate from the manufacturer’s specifications. Set the Water Heater Type to “Heat Pump”. Navigate to the DHW/Boiler library and create a new Water Heater. Equations Used to Convert Respective Ratings System Type For older versions of EnergyPro, you will need to convert the new rating to the older system per the conversions below: Table 1. EnergyPro 9.0 includes the ability to directly input your equipment efficiency using the new ratings, it is selected at the Central System Library, you can choose to use the new or old ratings. ![]() On DOE mandated that manufacturers rate HVAC equipment with new efficiency metrics. If you see ‘license installed’ then you have successfully installed the license. Go into EnergyPro and open the software activation window by going to Help / software activation, it will look like:Ĭlick on the ‘Import’ button and in the ‘Look in’ section, go to where ever you have saved the AUTHENTICATED license.lic file that energysoft sent back to you. You will not be able to open the license.lic file by double clicking on it. Once you have received the email with the authenticated license.lic file, you will need to save the file somewhere on your computer to be used later. You then need to send that license.lic file in an email to for them to authenticate it and send it back. When you hit the ‘Install License’ key it will come up with a message window that looks like:Ĭlick save and remember where it is saved to (in this case it is saved to My documents). Once you have done this the license activation window should look like this, with your company name and license key: ![]() The first thing you need to do is follow the instructions in the email that was sent when you purchased the software regarding copying and pasting the company name and license key into the software activation window of EnergyPro. ![]()
