Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Lost Messages - convertESOMTR

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

My apologies for the delay in responding to question 1 below.  I think you are 
right that there is a mistake in the conversion factor for W->kBtuh.  In fact, 
it appears that all conversion factors for kBtuh are wrong.  When this has been 
fixed and checked (and re-checked), we will make a revised file available here 
in the yahoo group.
