[esp-r] Re: MVHR representations in ESP-r.

[Jon Hand]

There are a number of different approaches to implementing MVHR in an ESP-r
model.  One of the great things about ESP-r is that there is usually more than
one approach that can be used depending on the kind of information you
have and the performance data that you are curious about. 

I attach a link to a quick model I created which explores each of the
common variants in one model (so you can compare them easily).

Note that the model is work-in-progress. I used it to explore a heat exchanger
plant component as well as a simple reduce-infiltraton method and an
zone-based explicit representation of a heat exchanger. 

It was generated on a Linux computer
and might need a few tweaks to work on other platforms.  It was also created
with a rather new version of ESP-r and might crash if used with ancient versions
of ESP-r.

Hi ESP-r users,

I am looking texts/papers outlining the best approach in ESP-r to modelling Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR).
I cannot see any obvious routes through the HVAC route or plant presently. If I have missed something, I would be gratefully for a pointer.
Is it best to mix HVAC/flow network/plant/explicit physical modelling in some way to model behaviour appropriately?

Regards
