[bldg-sim] question about eQUEST refrigeration version

[Matthew Dubrovich]

As far as I've ever been able to tell, the two versions of eQuest are
not compatible with each other.  You can add some refrigeration
components to the normal version but if a more complex model is
required, you may need to start over in the Refrigeration version.  I
would like to know if anyone else has suggestions on how to easily enter
basic model geometry and such into the Refrigeration version.

Subject: [bldg-sim] question about eQUEST refrigeration version

 

Hi,

 

I have a .inp file, which was exported from Green Building Studio. When
I open this file with eQUEST regular version, there is no error or
warning message shown. I am trying to add on refrigeration system on
this building model, so I opened it with eQUEST refrigeration version. I
got 195 error messages. The errors in .BDL file are of three major
types: 

 

1. space volume undefined

2. glasstype, height, width undefined. 

"If WIN-SPEC-METHOD is GLASS-TYPE-INPUT, then GLASS-TYPE must be
specified."

3. "FREEZING-T in HydLoop-4 has Expression Evaluation Error: Invalid BDL
reference", which I have no idea about. 

 

When I looked at the .BDL created by eQUEST regular version, there is a
space volume defined. I do not quite understand why the two different
versions interprete the building geometry input differently. How should
I proceed with this? 

 

Thanks for your help!
