Abstract
The computer simulations discussed in this Task report represent the testing performed to evaluate the new variable refrigerant flow computer model in DOE's EnergyPlus building simulation program. Although the simulation results were reviewed for accuracy, and are believed to be representative of VRF performance, the magnitude of the results described in this report may change as the VRF computer model evolves over time or is changed to provide a better representation of VRF performance.
