[Equest-users] Electric meters & loads

[Bishop, Bill]

Lars,
 
You assign meters at the Air-Side HVAC system level. Select a system and
go to the Meters tab. You can assign direct interior and exterior loads
(such as exterior lighting) to meters within the Utility & Economics
module by selecting the meter in the Component Tree.

Subject: [Equest-users] Electric meters & loads
 
DOE2-2ers,
 
    I have read the ELEC-METER pages of the DOE2-2 dictionary and just
don't see how to assign the various electrical loads from my building to
the meters.  It mentions "INTERIOR-POWER", "INTERIOR-SCH",
"INTERIOR-EU", "EXTERIOR-POWER", "EXTERIOR-SCH", and "EXTERIOR-EU", but
offers no clarifying examples.  Furthermore, "INTERIOR-POWER" and
"EXTERIOR-POWER" are described as accepting "...a list of up to 10
values of hourly electrical energy consumed by miscellaneous uses...
...that do not show up anywhere else."  Clear as mud.  
    Electrically-powered HVAC systems exist.  Electrically-powered DHW
systems exist.  Various lighting systems will be defined and assigned to
spaces.  Exterior lighting systems will be defined.  I just want to
asssign these electrical loads to their proper meters.
    Does anybody know how to do this?  Does anyone have an excerpt from
a .inp file that can serve as a clarifying example?
    Thanks.
