[BLDG-SIM] Follow up Elevator Question

[Andrew Craig]

Vikram---

 

The horsepower input to an elevator can vary quite a bit depending on
the building.  For a high rise building, elevators will typically be
rated at 50 hp each (37 kW).  This goes down incrementally with the size
of the building to about 10 hp for small elevators (7.5 kW).  These are
just numbers I have seen on projects in-house. You should try to contact
the electrical engineer for your project and they should be able to give
you a better idea of how the elevators are rated.

Sorry - this is my first elevator model. 

 

ASHRAE is not very specific (or at least I didn't find a place where it
was) about elevator power limitations. What wattage should I use for my
base building?

Vikram---


Regarding your elevator question, eQUEST has a set of library schedules
for elevator usage in several types of buildings (office, apartments,
etc.)  These seem reasonable and appear to be based off of the ASHRAE
schedules that are found in the 90.1-2004 User's Manual.

Going through the LEED 2.2 requirements, I see that site lighting needs
to be modeled as well. Has anyone done this in eQUEST? If so - how is it
modeled? Do you set up another lighting source with schedule? I looked
in the project & site requirements and didn't see a site lighting
option.

Also - I am assuming you model elevators in the internal loads/equipment
tab. Does anyone have experience scheduling elevator usage? What kind of
schedule do you set for them?

Lastly - the baseline requirements for Appendix G requires that there is
no self shading. Can you set that in eQUEST?
