[Equest-users] Heating load during weekends

[John Aulbach]

Anna:

If you shut off equipment, turn off lights, or reduce people, your heating will have to work harder.

Not sure what "significant" means.

Subject: [Equest-users] Heating load during weekends


Hello,
 
I have been using EQuest to run some commercial building simulations. I’ve found that the electric (DX) heating load during weekends in the wintertime are unusually high compared to weekday loads. I ran a building that was a hospital with 24/7 occupancy and yet the heating loads between weekend and weekday are significantly different. 
 
Was there some hard- or soft-coded adjustment made in the program for weekends?
 
 
Thanks,
