[Bldg-sim] eQuest Energy Simulation program

[David S Eldridge]

The first step is to review the metering end-use assignments, which I believe you can find in the air-system -> metering tabs.  Most useful in the spreadsheet view.

If that doesn't uncover it, I would use a program such as Compare-It! or WinDiff to verify that the inputs are identical in the *.inp including power usage and schedules.  Sometimes the schedules can be input differently by accident when using the wizard if you are making two separate project files.  (This shouldn't change if you are only using the EEM parametric features.)

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).
