Chiller curves

Hi,

I'm a new user, most of my modeling occurs with existing buildings. I do not see any place to input chiller curves. Am I missing something?

DesignBuilder currently offers two approaches to HVAC modelling, simple (E+ purchased air) and the E+ compact description, neither of which model part load chiller performance. However, we are starting work on a component based HVAC interface which will offer this facility. In the meantime you can use DesignBuilder to create the building description and manually edit the .IDF file to incorporate a detailed HVAC model.

Regards

Steve
