[Bldg-sim] Oil-Fired Boilers in eQuest

[Siegrist, Adam]

Brian,

I did see that option as available, but what I'm unsure of is how the
boiler efficiency will be modeled by eQuest, since Natural Gas is the
only energy option in the DD Wizard. 

Any other thoughts?

Thanks for the quick response.

Can you not simply change the fuel meter for the boiler to an oil fuel 
meter?
