[Equest-users] equest results for system sizing

[Will Mak]

Honestly, I don't like using eQuest for load calcs. I typically use
Trane Trace or HAP...

 

Especially since the load summary states in big letters that ventilation
is not accounted for in the calcs. You could do them separately but
still...

 

Just my 2 cents.

Subject: [Equest-users] equest results for system sizing

 

Hi all

I would like to know to get an idea for system sizing based on modeling
in equest.

where in equest do everyone look for sizing Numbers?

I have always been looking at design sizing tons from air side HVAC tab.
But I realized they are very different from detailed report sizing.

If anyone can direct me through this, it will be helpful.

 

1.       Using air-side HVAC summary : design sizing tons

 

 

2.       Using building peak components, taking the kbtu/hsf number and
diving by 12000 to get cooling tons. This number is very low compared to
design capacity.

 

 

3.       Using PS-C report

 

 

Is there any other report which mechanical designers use to size system?

Thanks

 Deepika
