[Equest-users] Misc Equip End Use Category

[Molly Curtz]

Hi All,
I have a follow up question regarding the eQuest end use reporting categorization for process loop loads. As shown in below summary, energy use due to process loop loads is reported under the "Misc Equip" end use. This energy use is central plant energy. So, my question is: How is the central plant energy use allocated between the space conditioning loads and the process load over the year? Is this simply done on an hourly basis, allocated according to the ratio of the process load relative to the sum of the other connected (coil) loads?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Brian,
I'm not seeing this  on the Help menu in eQuest.  I'm still running version 3.60, are you running a newer version?

Thanks,

There is a description of end use categorizations included in the following .pdf file:

Help -> Tutorials & Reference -> Detailed Simulation Reports Summary.pdf

The last 3 pages list what energy is grouped into the energy end use categories.

Hope this helps.

Hi All,

I am trying to determine the cause of a discrepancy between "Misc Equip" in a baseline and proposed model.

I've already done a text file comparison on the .INP files, but have not yet identified the cause.

Could someone please list any other various energy uses that could be included in this category (other than the equipment/plug loads)?

So far I've determined that process loads on the Chilled water loop are reported under Misc. Equip. - any other ideas of items to look for?

Thanks very much for any suggestions.

Kind Regards,
