[bldg-sim] Attached buildings in eQUEST

[E. McMillan (EES)]

I have similar problems with trying to simulate a supermarket inside a mall!
I have to also do the simulation in equest in imperial units, when all my
background and local standards are metric! Will a metric version of the
interface be available soon anyone?

Is it possible to set the walls as having a schedule, or the
interconnections to the mall as being a separate metered source?

The supermarket I am trying to model almost completely inside the mall!, the
outer shell to the outside is on one side the warehouse of the supermarket
(narrow around 2 sides, 1 side and partially another is exposed to the mall
enviroment. Only half a wall is exposed to the outside weather conditions.

We are trying to check what happened as the building is existing, they have
3 chillers installed, with some modifications we are now trialing to run the
store on 1 chiller! The energy demand is now less than 50% of original
design.

What we need to do is explain how to prevent this form occurring again in
the Group, hence we need to show simulation can work on the existing stores,
while auditing their energy consumption.

Does anyone have any experiences they could share.

PS we are based in Indonesia, so the outside conditions are tropical, humid
and hot all year round.

To the list -

There seems to be some discussion about simulating adiabatic walls in
eQUEST. Using the eQUEST Schematic Design or Design Development wizard this
is very easy to do. In the building footprint screen of the wizard, right
click on any exterior wall and you will be able to identify that wall as
entirely adiabatic, partially adiabatic (and what portion) or entirely
exterior. This feature has been available in the general release of eQUEST
for quite some time.

Unfortunately, this and many other useful features are not well documented
due to our funding sources being primarily earmarked for feature development
and enhancements. Recently, however, we have received significant funding to
develop much better documentation for the eQUEST wizards, detailed
interface, reporting modules and life cycle costing capabilities.

Additionally, the DOE 2 BDL and simulation engine is fully supported by the
eQUEST detailed interface. From within the detailed interface, you can
create INTERIOR-WALLs with INT-WALL-TYPE=ADIABATIC, which means the NEXT-TO
assignment is not required. For more information on INTERIOR-WALL command,
refer to the DOE 2.2 documentat, Volume 2 Dictionary. Complete DOE-2.2
documentation is available from http://doe2.com/DOE2/index.html. See the
bottom of the page.
