[Equest-users] Sizing runs in baseline model

[David Eldridge]

I think it shows up pretty clearly as “miscellaneous equipment” end-use in
the eQuest reports, so I’m not sure why they asked you about the submeter,
unless there was some inquiry about splitting up components of the process
load…I think it is an unneeded step, but you’ll have to work that out with
the reviewer as to why they asked specifically for it.

Hi!



I got the unmet hours fixed in my baseline model. I think it had something
to do with the return air path – I had switched them from ducted to plenum
(to match design case because I didn’t see an App. G requirement for it) but
had them as unconditioned.



Back to the sub-metering question. I missed this in my discussion with the
review team –would it make sense to put ALL the process power on the
sub-meter as a way to directly see it? Seems that way to me. For our project
process power includes:



·         Receptacles (office equipment and task lights)

·         Refrigeration

·         Cooking



I don’t think there are any difficulties in assigning these to the
sub-meter. I see there are places to directly assign them in the meter
properties – is there a risk of duplicating / double-counting them if
they’re also entered at the zone / system inputs?



Thanks, all. Have a great Memorial Day weekend and take a moment to thank a
Vet!
