[Equest-users] Light Shelves

One possibility is to model daylighting as usual and increase the
proportion of your space that benefits from the daylighting as a result
of the deeper light penetration allowed by the shelves.

Hi 

I am trying to model Light Shelves in E-Quest for day lighting. Can you
please help me on this? Thanks

For those that are on both the BLDG-SIM and this list, I apologize for
the repost...

 

 

Question on PIU vs. VAV systems in eQuest...

 

If a PIU system has only SVAV boxes and all other parameters are
identical, does the PIU act like a VAV in eQuest?  Only changing the
system type in my model seems to have a significant impact on energy
usage and I can't track down why that is.  The difference is significant
enough that with App. G System 7 VAV w/RH, the choice between PIU and
VAV has an effect on the number of points.  Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Matt

Matt -
You may be observing the result of the different default for
"THERMOSTAT-TYPE" for zones served by each system. The default for VAVS
is "REVERSE-ACTION" while it is "PROPORTIONAL" for PIU. Take a look in
the DOE-2 documentation for descriptions of each of these and how this
property affects ZONE terminal unit and SYSTEM operation.
