[Equest-users] Question regarding fuel use

[Chris Baker]

My PS-F reports for fuel use is in Gallons with peak demand in Gallons/Minute.

My PS-E reports for fuel use is in MBTU with peak demand in MBTU/Hr.

The dropdown menus in the LEED online forms don't give you the option to input fuel capacities in Gallons or MBTU.  Hence my confusion.

For LEED online
My units of energy = kbtu
My units of demand = MBH

SO the conversions need to be done as follows for entry to leed online...

fuel use:  5893.5 MBTU - kbtu
The conversion for demand:  2.0 MBTU/HR - MBH

At first I thought 1 MBTU = 1 million BTU's ??

But looking at my summary reports I see the MBTU fuel use at 5.8935 on the graph, then it sais: (x000,000,000)

This implies that 1 MBTU = 1 Billion BTU's but I'm not sure if this is correct?

Plus, my brain hurts.
