[Equest-users] Display Kiosk

[Greg Collins]

A little bit late in the response, but have another suggestion to
"measure" your building skin heat loss with the BMS..  Since your
heating system is designed to provide the heat the building is losing,
you could just use the total heating load in the building and subtract
any ventilation heating and local reheat (if a VAV system).  If it's a
complex system then this would be difficult, but if it's all VAV boxes
it would be a single calculation for each VAV box with reheat and then a
summation for the total.

 

Good luck,

I do agree that the initiative is a bit on the "Star Trek" side, however
I can't think of any other way to harvest the data and display it on a
screen.  So I want to thank all for your input.

This is getting a bit "Star Trek". eQuest does its 8,760 hour simulation
based on input provided by both the user and the weather file. What you
seem to be seeking is REAL TIME information, avalable only through
multple sensor inputs. For that skin load parameter, you might use
eQuest to generate the building skin loss baseed on outdoor temperature,
place these numbers in a spreadsheet, thern have an outdoor air
temperature sensor pick the number based on the delta T (indoor to
outdoor). 
  
You could use eQuest to generate your range, based on whatever is the
driving parameter is, then have a number come from a programmed
calculation to display "Real Time" output. 
  
You can always ask Chief Engineering Officer Montgomery Scott. Scotty
can fix anything..

We are the controls contractor for a LEED Platinum building and have
been asked to supply points and information that can be displayed on a
Kiosk Screen.  I have attached a list of what is expected of us to
provide.  Although most of the list will involve the installation of
meters/sensors to harvest the information I struggle as to how to
measure items such as No. 6 (Current overall building skin loss)?
E-Quest can establish the baseline of what the skin loss would be so I
was wondering if e-quest can somehow be manipulated to supply on-going
parametric runs?  Can e-quest be programmed to have regular automatic
inputs which would generate automatic outputs that can be displayed? 

Probably something that has never been done.
