Abstract

The Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) heat pump model was implemented in DOE's EnergyPlus simulation software V7.0.0.036. A heat recovery model was developed and pressented to the DOE EnergyPlus core development team for approval. The following documents were created specifically for the VRF heat recovery computer model new feature proposal.
