Hello. 

You can find detailed procedures in the papers and thesis at the Lab's website listed below for studies performed over the last 20 years. Go to publications. Most PDFs are on-line.

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] Help calibrating eQuest building model

Hello,

My name is Seun Odukomaiya. I am a graduate student at Purdue University working on the Building Sciences. As part of my research, I am trying to calibrate an eQuest model to match the energy performance of an actual building for which i have data. Currently, I am having difficulties with the electric heating element. The actual building (and thus the model) utilizes an electric heating element. The energy data from the model, however, is much lower than that of the actual building. I have tried several things, but have been unsuccessful in increasing the energy consumption of the electric heating element in my eQuest model. I need to increase the energy consumption of the electric heating element in my eQuest model to get it to match the data from the actual building. Any help in ways to accomplish this within eQuest would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
