[Equest-users] Baseline Modeling

[Peter Hillermann]

Thanks Paul,

 

Someone later told me I was incorrect and I'll be changing the way I do it
as well. Starting proposed and working backwards.

 

Thanks,

Hello Omar,

 

These are the steps I suggest you follow to complete the proposed building
and the baseline building models most efficiently:

 

1) Model the proposed building first. Do everything you can in wizard. Keep
a copy of the model at this stage so that you can easily go back to this
state of your model if necessary.

2) Save two new copies of your model- one for the proposed model to be
completed in the detailed editor and one for the baseline model.

3) Complete the proposed model in detail editor

4) Go back to the model you saved in step 2 of this process as the baseline
model and change your selections in the wizard to comply with ASHRAE 90.1.
This is quicker and easier than changing all the values manually.Keep a copy
of the model at this stage so that you can easily go back to this state of
your model if necessary.

5) Save a new copy of the baseline model and complete it in the detailed
editor. 

 

This process allows you to do everything you can in the wizard for both the
baseline and proposed building models. It also helps to ensure that
schedules and other aspects shared by the two buildings are modeled the same
as required by ASHRAE 90.1. 

 

 

I hope this helps,

 

Paul

Omar,

 

You need to start with the baseline then enter you efficient values. Yes you
need to enter ASHRAE standards manually.

 

Thanks,

Dear all,

 

I am modeling a school using eQUEST. I have entered the values corresponding
to the proposed building (like the specifications given). I would like to
model the baseline building according to ASHRAE 90.1 standard. 

Do I have to change the U-values, HVAC strategy, Window/wall ratio, and the
other stuff manually? That is, shall I open the ASHRAE standard and start
changing all values one-by-one? The ASHRAE Standard 90.1 isn't recognized by
eQUEST such that it can create the baseline case alone? That would save a
lot of time!

 

Best regards,

Omar
