Ductless Residential Air Conditioning System

Project Summary

This project develops and implements variable refrigerant flow (VRF) algorithms into the eQUEST building energy simulation program. While VRF systems are applicable to both residential and small-to-medium-sized commercial facilities, this project is limited to residential heat pumps. It is also possible to use the new algorithms to model small commercial facilities that use a heat pump, and do not have a dedicated outside air system.
