Actually, with the methodology suggested below, the heat gain from the
equipment is not accounted for in the cooling energy consumption
calculations.  This load should be added to the space in which the elevator
equipment is located since this is where the heat will be dissipated.  In
the space properties box, click on the equipment tab and enter as equipment
load and select a default elevator schedule for the appropriate building
type.  Other sources for elevator equipment schedules have been discussed
previously – you may want to search the archives.  We usually create an
elevator equipment electric sub-meter so we can verify the loads are
identical in both the baseline and Proposed models and easily isolate this
electric consumption for reporting this process load on the LEED Template.

Go to electric meter EM1 and click on tab Direct Loads and add the kW to the
interior direct loads and assign a schedule.

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know how to model elevators and escalators on eQUEST for LEED?

 

Many thanks,

 

Aswan
