How to Model 'Only Heating' or 'Only Cooling' Systems in Cove.tool?

This article describes the steps to model 'only heating' or 'only cooling' system needed for the proposed space.

Only Heating System:

//Step 1

Select the system type that closely matches to the proposed heating system from the dropdown menu. For example, select VAV/Electric.

//Step 2

Increase the cooling set-point and set-back values accordingly till the point where the cooling load is zero. This basically means that the cooling system won’t be turned on because of the higher set-point value. The cooling set-point/set-back can be accessed via ‘Baseline Energy’ > ‘Usage and Schedules’.

Only Cooling System:

//Step 1:

Select the system type that closely matches to the proposed system from the dropdown menu. For example, select DX Split System to model the cooling only split system.

//Step 2:

Decrease the heating set-point and set-back values accordingly till the point where the heating load is zero. This basically means that the heating system won’t be turned on because of the lower set-point value. The heating set-point/set-back can be accessed via ‘Baseline Energy’ > ‘Usage and Schedules’.
