[Equest-users] District Cooling in eQUEST

In wizard mode, you can only select chillers for your cooling plant.  
However, once you "make the jump" to detailed mode, you can add a 
chilled water meter and delete the chiller and associated cooling tower, 
condenser pump and condenser loop.  The chilled water meter acts like 
the district cooling system supply. 

Note that you will have to look to the detailed reports (the .sim 
outputs) for many of your results as some of the eQUEST summary reports 
do not included the chilled water meter values (as they are limited to 2 
energy types).
