[Equest-users] Help - excessive electricity for space heating

[Rob Hudson]

Just looking at your INP file quickly, it appears you have several electric
unit heaters that are trying to keep spaces heated to the same 72 degree
temperature as the rest of the building.  You may want to put those spaces
on a separate schedule with a lower thermostat setting as they are
unoccupied and not necessary to keep at high temperatures unless desired by
owner.  Those systems should also be taken off of any fan schedule so they
only turn on when necessary to reach space setpoints.  if you eliminate the
schedule, make sure to turn on the option of night cycling without OA.

Hope this helps,

Rob
