[Equest-users] Cooking Equipment and Elevators/ Exhaust fans

My only suggestion would be to perform a save-as and change the misc
equipment energy consumption to zero for the elevator (and then do it
again for the kitchen) to find the equipment usage and demand.

 

If your independent fans are exhaust fans, I would do the same thing
that I mentioned above. 

 

The reports in eQUEST will not break out the equipment but you can write
a narrative explaining that eQUEST cannot separate these loads and
explain your procedure. I believe that the reviewer simply wants to make
sure that the energy consumption is the same for these items in the
baseline and proposed model.

Dear users, 

 

I received form USGBC the following comment: 

 

"The project contains elevators and kitchen equipment in the actual
design; however, the process energy related to the elevator and kitchen
equipment was not included in each energy model, since Section 1.8 of
the template does not include the process energy consumption for
elevator or kitchen equipment. Revise the Proposed and Baseline models
to include the process energy for elevator and kitchen equipment in the
appropriate space in the models. In addition, update the template
reflecting the changes."

 

The kitchen equipment and elevators were input in the model under the
equipment tab for each space as designed but I couldn't separate them in
eQuest from the Misc. Equip under the Consumption by Enduse Report or
Demand Report. I verified everything I could and see how I can spit them
and the only thing I found was this: "INTERIOR-EU - Accepts a list of up
to 10 code-words specifying the end-use category of the INTERIOR-POWER.
The code-words correspond to the end-use categories in the end-use
reports (PS-E, PS-F, BEPS, BEPU). Acceptable entries are LIGHTS,
TASK-LIGHTS, MISC-EQUIP, SPACE-HEATING, SPACE-COOLING, HEAT-REJECT,
PUMPS&AUX, VENT-FANS, REFRIG-DISPLAY, HT-PUMP-SUPPLEM, DOMEST-HOT-WTR,
and EXT-USAGE. "

In the end I understand that eQuest does not have the option of doing
what the reviewer is asking for. 

 

The reviewer also wants the independent fans to be separated from the
supply and return fans which I didn't find how. 


Am I missing something here? 

 

Your help is appreciated. 

Thank you.

Crina Bosch
