[Bldg-sim] eQuest tutorial

[Aulbach, John]

Louis-Phillippe:
 
Utility bills and metering is the only way you ever really verify eQuest results.
 
Other than 400 sqft/ton or 400 cfm of supply air/ton.
 
And it will always depend on the climate you are in, the orientation of the building, the mix of zone types, and too many factors to list here.
 
What kind of building are you looking at?

Hi!   I'm fairly new to eQuest (and building energy too) and I've been using eQuest for a short period of time now, and I'm pretty

decent in using it.  However, I have no means to verify my simulation results to find out if my modeling assumptions, and the way I use eQuest

are correct.  I mainly use eQuest t find out HVAC cooling requirements for specific projects, for example, a friend of mine recently bought a house

and consider to install a HVAC system.  I verified the proper tonnage (or BTU/Hr) and came with a pretty good answer, but unless he buy the HVAC

unit and install it, there is no real way to find out if my results are correct.  Does anybody have a example project with results that I can trust ??

Also maybe a tutorial with complete exercises and answers?

 

Thanks!!

 

Thank you and have a nice day! :)
