[Equest-users] U-Values

[Steven Savich]

Peter,

 

We'd need to know more about building location, climate, load profile, etc.
When does the cooling electrical consumption increase (time of year and/or
time of day) vs baseline?  

 

I have seen this happen when there's a lot of internal load and with the
right climate.

To All,

 

I seem to be having some issues with my baseline design and my first
parametric run. (I am working in detail mode with INP file) When I make my
baseline wall value R-13 and change it in my run to R-27 my heating (MBTU)
load goes down by 4% however my electric rate (kWh) goes up 1%. I don't
really understand because I thought both would have gone down. Am I doing
something wrong?

 

Thanks,

 

PETER HILLERMANN
