Description
Non-Vapor-Compression HVAC technologies, such as thermoelectric and magnetocaloric technologies, are gaining attractions for their exceptional environmental performance. These emerging technologies can be alternatives to vapor-compression technology for residential and commercial HVAC applications in many cases. Implementing the corresponding models in EnergyPlus can facilitate the evaluation and application of these technologies.
