Comparing different HVAC systems performance

Hello,

I am trying to compare for a residential home the performance of the standard central heat via radiators and air source heat pumps via under floor heating. If I do select these both systems and run simulations I see that both give the exact same "system heating load" and "boiler load". If I just want to know what is difference of the energy consumption and sizing of these systems where can I find that information in Vista? Thank you.

Regards,
Faisal.

In Vista, select the relevant results file, make sure Model level variables are displayed and select the Energy tab. Under Model Energy Variables you can then select Total System Energy.
