I'm researching into the performance of heat pumps in houses, particularly into retro-fit. Received wisdom is that heat pumps, because they don't don't produce high temperatures like boilers, are not ...

I am reasonable knowledgeable of IES VE, and don't think that that package can do this simulation. I am looking at ESP-R but at the moment can't see whether that will do it. Any suggestions? It may be that use of pure-ish physics might get me some answers, but the actual physics of radiator output is not simple either....

Thanks in advance

Bob, Not sure if you've resolved this or not. IDA ICE by EQUA AB could do it properly. EnergyPlus has a module within it that could probably do it as well. Both have the advantage of being ...

IDA ICE by EQUA AB could do it properly. EnergyPlus has a module within it that could probably do it as well. Both have the advantage of being able to read in data files from data gatherers.

Thanks for this. IDA ICE looks very nice, but the fact that they don't quote prices on their website means it's probably damagingly expensive...... The people at Strathclyde seemed to think that ...
