I am fairly new to using Carrier and I am having trouble figuring out if it is capable of modelling a building that uses campus steam and a heat exchanger for the building hot water.  Is carrier capable of this, if so, how is it done?  I am using version 4.34.  Thanks
 

RE: Carrier HAP Heat Exchangers

I have never done that on HAPS, but their helpline is excellent (if your a valid customer)

RE: Carrier HAP Heat Exchangers

Campus steam is modelled as 'purchased heat' and needs to be modelled as purchased hot water.

If you are doing a LEED project then you'll need to follow the LEED for Campus' guideline which has you model the system as a boiler with a _low_ baseline efficiency.

Thanks for your help.  It is a LEED project, so I will have to review those guidelines.  What you mentioned is what I ended up doing, modelling the heat exchanger as a low efficiency boiler.
