What type of HVAC system do you have? If it is a VAV, it sounds like
your system is functioning fine (summer is when VAV matching wreaks
havoc).
Check your winter outside air, window type, operating hours (do you heat
at night ??).

Subject: [Bldg-sim] Benchmarking the billing data.
Hello All,
I am modelling an 124,000sqft five storied building in
eQUEST 3.61. I am benchmarking the model's electricity, demand and gas
use using the actual billing usage. I am able to benchmark the
electricity and demand use but not the gas usage. I am able to get
pretty good streamlining in summer but not in winter. In winter the
total therms is up by 154% of the normal billing usage.
Does eQUEST overestimates the gas usage.
Any clue, help or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Kazim Mirza
