[Equest-users] Reducing unmet hours

[David Dowling]

I have asked this before and I don't think anyone has suggested a good
solution for reducing the total number of unmet hours, so I thought I
would post this again.  

 

Does any one have a nice check list of things to verify to reduce the
total number of unmet hours without drastically changing the scheduling,
throttling range, or sizing ratios?  What I have had to do previously is
adjust the sizing ratio for each system until it is within the range
specified under ASHRAE 90.1-2004; which can cause other problems when
sizing ratios exceed 2.00.  Alternatively, is there a way to change how
eQUEST auto-sizes each piece of equipment so that it actual can size the
equipment to match the required load.  I think this is probably the
underlying problem that I am having and I can't imagine that I am the
only one having this issue.  Let me know if anyone has any ideas.

 

Thank you,
