An investigation of the accuracy; advantages and disadvantages of using the simpler degree day house load-model Type 12 as a replacement for the more complex multi-zone Type 56 has been made. Results show that Type 12 provides sufficient accuracy for all systems including a storage tank capable of holding at least one day load. A discussion whether Type 12 is an accurate model for other situations is made.
