[Equest-users] New eQuest Version

[Karen Walkerman]

While we're at it:

1.  I'd really like a water-to-water heat pump that works off any type of
heat pump loop!

2.  Allow heat recovery for chillers greater than the hourly chilling
capacity (i.e. allow heat recovery for the heat of compression).

3.  Allow desiccant dehumidifiers to use outdoor air to dehumidify a space,
without providing outdoor air as ventilation.  (the DOE 2 help file shows
this, but it doesn't actually operate this way).

4.  Allow mandatory cooling and then re-heat of air in an air handler.

5.  Eliminate duplicate underground constructions coming out of the wizard.

6.  Eliminate duplicate infiltration schedules coming out of the wizard.

7.  Include the ability to model vaulted ceilings in the wizard

8.  Include the ability to model ERV's in the wizard.

9.  Include the ability to model partially underground basements in the
wizard.

10.  I definitely second the call for a library of equipment.  Climate
Master has done this for their heat pump units.  Maybe manufacturers can get
on this???

11. When fans are set to cycle, or be variable speed, maintain minimum
airflow required to provide ventilation air automatically.

The list goes on.
