[Dakota Kelley]

The archive post below is what I’ve gone by the one or two times it has happened to me; see the response from Steve Gates.

Hi Connor,

 

not that my response will help your issue, but sometimes no response at all can be more frustrating than the problem itself...

 

 

So, with that, I have not encountered an error like this before in my 7 years of using eQuest.   If you have been using the "Save As" safety method that many of us use for our sim files, my approach would be to revert back to one of the Save-As-versions that did not contain the error and move forward with a sensitivity analysis to try and find which inputs or actions are instigating it to occur.

 

If I were in your shoes, I would choose to take a few steps back to try and keep moving forward to get over the problem.

 

Also have you searched the archives at www.onebuilding.org <http://www.onebuilding.org/>  to see if others have encountered/discussed this type of error in the past?  You might also peruse the BLDG-SIM archives too where these will be more general to simulation softwares rather than specific to eQuest only.

 

If you do figure it out be sure to share your finding with the rest of us so that future occurances of this error will be able to reference back to your experience.

 

Good Luck,

pkg

Hello,

 

I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this warning message: 

 

**WARNING**********************************************************************

             Zone: Exam Room Zn                     could not successfully

             allocate all equipment energy to the 5-minute bins

             because of an equipment overload.  The peak load

             used in ECONOMICS will not include the fraction due

             to the overload, but the PLANT reports will.

             Mon/Day/Hour:  2  2  8  Energy:   2.2  Unallocated: 0.596

 

 

 

The only major change that created this error was switching from a PIU to a Packaged VAV serving multiple zones. This same error is occurring on several of the zones. Is there something I may have missed? 

 

Thanks for the insight.

 

Regards,

 

Connor
