>> Hi Frantisek,
>>
>> A few shotgun thoughts:
>>
>> ·Does that space have unmet hours (see airside tab summary report 
>> after a simulation)?
>>
>> ·Does the corresponding zone have a cooling thermostat schedule?  Not 
>> defining one means the zone won’t call for cooling.
>>
>> ·Is the zone defined as “conditioned” and not “unconditioned” or 
>> “plenum?”
>>
>> ·Are the other spaces sucking all the internal heat gains out through 
>> the partitions?
>>
>> ·Is there exterior exposure (envelope) incident on the space doing 
>> the same?
>>
>> This all assumes you’ve actually defined your computer server room as 
>> a distinct zone… If you only defined a percentage activity allocation 
>> for the server area within a larger zone (in wizards), your model 
>> likely isn’t detailed enough to capture a simultaneous call for 
>> heating and cooling between the different zones/systems.
>>
>> If none of this helps, you might consider uploading your files to the 
>> mailing list to allow others to take a look.  I suggest doing a File 
>> àSave As… into a new directory, then attaching the few files 
>> resulting.  Also be mindful to specify which version of eQuest you’re 
>> using.
>>
>> Best of luck!

>>
>> Hello,
>>
>> I have a question about eQuest modeling - I created a model of quite 
>> simple rectangle Office building, but in results I have no 
>> consumption of electricity for cooling during winter (november - 
>> march) although in area specification I have 6 % of floor area 
>> specified as a Computer server room (data centre) with 100 % plug 
>> load in occupied and unoccupied times.
>>
>> The building is in Prague (Czech republic) and from my experiences 
>> based on real dates from existing building there´s always consumption 
>> of cooling energy for data server rooms in winter in this location.
>>
>> Do you know,  where the problem can? What parameter could I insert 
>> wrongly?
>>
>> Thanks for advices.
>>
>> Frantisek
