Some answers to your questions....

1) the model has no back-up heating - it relies totally on solar gains. If you want
the top of the tank to be maintained at a higher temperature you could use an
ideal control law to inject heat into the top tank zone (sense the temperature in
the top of the tank and actuate in that same zone).  In the results analysis you
could then see how much heat had to be added to maintain the temperatures.
Assuming electrical resistance heating the reported heat injection value would be equal to
the electrical power.

2) I did not include any description of using hot water for people.  I have not tested
if it is possible to get water from the tank.  What temperature would the mains
water arrive at?.

3) how much water would be required and when would it be required?  ESP-r
needs someone to define how much, what rate of flow in a schedule. Some
tests would be needed.

Hi all,

I am working on cellular_expl_sdhw model. I simülated the model. However I have some questions if possible.

1- In result analysis modul How I can see the energy consumption of the model for hot water . I mean when thereis not enough sun for making hot water how the building makes hot water? with electricity or naturel gas?
2- is this model makes hot water just for heating the office? isnt it make hot water for people to use?
3- if it makes hot water for people to use so how much kg the daily hot water used by people?
Thank you so much for your time and help
Best
