[Equest-users] Schedules & LEED

[Bishop, Bill]

Lars,
Schedules are generated based on the input you provide for "building
type" in Wizard Screen 1 for Project & Site Data. You can modify these
in both the wizard and DD Edit modes. The ASHRAE 90.1 User's Manual has
schedules in the Appendix G section for occupancy, lighting, HVAC,
service hot water and elevators based on building occupancy type. My
suggestion is to look over the eQUEST-generated schedules to verify that
they seem reasonable, and then make sure you use the same schedules for
both Proposed and Baseline models.
Regards,

Subject: [Equest-users] Schedules & LEED
 
eQuesters,
 
    I'm modeling a LEED project.  According to ASHRAE 90.1, the
schedules for HVAC, occupancy, lighting, etcetera, "...shall be typical
of the proposed building type as determined by the designer and approved
by the rating authority."  (part 4 of table G3.1)
    Of course, I haven't a clue what the rating authority (USGBC)
considers appropriate.  I lack the expertise to determine this, myself.
Is there some free (online?) resource that delineates typical schedules
for building types?  All I know is that the owner claims that the
offices are open from 8am to 5pm.  (how informative!)
    Thank you all in advance.
