There is also a Summary report within eQuest that you can view in the Air-Side HVAC view.  The report has each system, zones served by each system and the design parameters you describe (CFM, OA CFM, hours out of range etc).  Just select the summary tab next to the spreadsheet tab.

Paul, you can add this line below to your eQuest.ini file (if it's not there already?) to get a listing of the equipment and AHU parameters.

          StoreResults_HVAC_Summary=1

This will create a CSV file with the information in it.

No help with the extraction of the other reports.  I used a simple approach where I used a macro to format the *.sim so that it's easier to read (select all, change font size smaller, and landscape pages)...but no extraction.

If anyone has some good VBA I'd be interested in seeing it, if it's public.

Lastly, I don't know if everyone knew this or not...but you can copy and paste items out of the "spreadsheet view".

David

	Is anyone aware of a software tool/product or another means by which to easily extract/parse information found in the DOE-2 output/sim file?  The e-QUEST-produced reports are helpful for summing up the results, but I would like to have quicker access to other information for calibrating/verifying/questioning my models.  For instance, it'd be great to extract # of hours underheated or cooled, or perhaps I'd like to extract the DOE-2 -sized cfm or capacity values.  With a lot of zones/systems this becomes a tedious task to deal with manually.

	Any suggestions for a good method of doing this?  I know some have written VBA to this end, but is that limited in flexibility or easily adaptable to all models (i.e. changing # of rooms affects line # in output file)?  Any help would be much appreciated.

	Regards,

	Paul Erickson
