[Equest-users] input parameters for area lights and miscellaneous equipments.

[Soham Babu]

Kirti,

We can give actual exterior load by assigning it to the electric meter as screen shot 1, before that you have to create the exterior lighting schedule as shown in screen shot 2 day, week & annul schedule, then you can assign the calculated value in electric meter in detail mode. Regarding the miscellaneous equipment leave eQUEST default as shown in screen shot 3 , otherwise if you enter the value by yourself it should be same in baseline & proposed. Regarding LPD for Baseline ASHRAE 90.1 value & for Proposed Actual electrical design. I hope this helps you...

Subject: [Equest-users] input parameters for area lights and miscellaneous equipments.

Dear all,
I have a query about assigning the area light values and miscellaneous equipment values in eQuest.

While assigning the area lights, exterior loads and miscellaneous equipment loads; I input the necessary power densities in the wizard mode. However  I have realized that, the exterior lighting load (w/sf) input in the Wizard mode is multiplied by the building area (all floors) and becomes a direct kW load on the electric meter. This directly resulted in very high numbers for the exterior usage in the simulation results. This is erroneous in my case and I have figured out a way to correct it by calculating the actual exterior load figure and assigning it to the electric meter and updating it with a necessary schedule.
I was wondering if the software considers a similar analogy for calculating the area lights and the miscellaneous equipment figures in the simulation results as it does for the exterior usage. If that is so, i am sure my results are way too wrong or over board. what would be correct way/s to input the area light and miscellaneous equipment figures. Please find attached the .INP file for your reference.

Thanks for your time in anticipation.
