[Equest-users] boiler and chiller serving multiple buildings

[John Aulbach]

Yehuda:

Yes, you certainly can have those seven shells. But you will also have the 
eighth shell where the central plant is. eQuest does not care where the plant 
is, but what is connected to it. Do no concern yourself with where the plant 
resides, but what is connected to it.

BTW, does the plant have its own electric and gas meters? You can worry about 
what meters go to what buildings in the Detailed Edit Mode, if you are trying to 
match bills.

This sounds like an interesting project, such as a campus or hospital complex.

John

John
 
Thank you for your help.
 
I have a question on what you said.  The boiler and chiller that service the 
eight buildings are extremely big.  Anyway I have to start the model in the DD 
Wizard.  If I make eight different shells and show seven buildings without a 
boiler or chiller, it seems that I could

Yehuda:
 
I surmise that all eight buildings are on the central plant with the chillers 
and boilers you describe. eQuest doesn't know that your 8 buildings are separate 
buildings, just more zones. I would describe your zones (in the Detailed Edit 
mode) such as "Building 1-North Zone" or "Building 8-Lobby" and put all the 
zones on one massive CHW and HHW loop.
 
You can also make these loops Secondary loops, if the Central Plant has its own 
loops.
 
Have fun !!

To all:
 
I have a building complex consisting of 8 buildings.  In one of the buildings 
are the boiler and chiller that service all of the building through various 
pipes.  The other buildings don’t have their own boiler and chiller.  How do I 
model this into eQuest?
 
Thank you.
