There is a great free program called Exam Diff that we use to track down
differences in input files: http://www.prestosoft.com/edp_examdiff.asp
If you are only looking at operating costs, another possibility is that your
are using utility billing rate information that allows demand charges to be
calculated. If you use this method rather than a straight $/kWh approach,
you will have subtle differences in operating costs for different end uses.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] eQuest Energy Simulation program
Hello. I am using the eQuest program and have a problem I'm hoping someone
can help me with.
I have reviewed all of the input affecting 'Misc. Equip' energy usage (per
the 'Description of eQuest/DOE-2.2 End Use Reporting Categories') and have
verfied all the inputs for both my Baseline and Proposed buildings are
identical, and that no parametric run parameters modify those inputs, and
yet my outputs remain substantially different.
As the LEED reviewers are insisting that my 'process' loads be identical for
both the baseline and proposed buildings, I need to either find a way to
correct the apparent mistake, or find a way to move the portion of the Misc.
Equip output that is changing to a non-process energy meter. (I have been
unable to locate where these particular inputs are assigned to one meter or
another).
