[Equest-users] Top 10 Improvements

[Aulbach, John]

In regards to program crashes..
 
I would not bet on anything right now except Version 3.61e (latest from
the DOE2.com download area). All who get these "souped up" beta versions
run the risk that the bugs have not been thoroughly flushed out.
 
Also make sure the input file you have are of the same vintage as the
version  which you run. 3.61e files will NOT run on 3.61b.
 
Otherwise, like the flyers of old, blame "gremlins."

Another item to consider is the extensive amount of times the program
crashes. Today I am having trouble running anything more than a baseline
simulation (EEM's seem to crash the program more frequently).

I completely agree.  Emails are not the way to keep track.
Maybe if the discussion continues we'll see more progress, but right
now, it seems pretty silent and interest is dying/dead for this topic.
To me, this list is a priority.
Almost everyone must encounter the same problems, but unless the
developers know a lot of ppl want change "X", they only have
anecdotal/sparse input and their own assumptions about what we need.
I once suggested a website to track/vote, but don't think Hirsch et al.
have the resource.  For now, I'll keep a short spreadsheet tracking the
bit of feedback so far (w/names).

I'm sure the eQuest user community could come up with an exhaustive list
of
suggested improvements.  Maybe the most useful way for the eQuest
development team to receive the suggestions would be through a wiki that
allows people to add to a list on-line instead of having to wade through
a
long email chain, followed by a vote on the list of improvements so that
a
ranking of most to least important improvements can be generated.  Could
Scott or one of the other development team members chime in on this?

 

I don't have the web/programming skills to make such a thing happen, but
there are probably some folks on the list who do.

I agree, good list.  This is more of an engine than an interface
suggestion,
but creating:

1)     a legitimate way to model UFAD systems and 

2)     water-water heat pumps would be extremely beneficial.  

 

I know Trane is working on the former at least.
