[Equest-users] Compliance rule set for Oregon

[Eric O'Neill]

John,

I'm not sure I follow you. (Was this tongue in cheek?) What statistical
analysis are you referring to? I think the software certainly has its
limitations, but if you are aware of them you can certainly get useful
results. Perhaps you could clarify what you dislike about energy
modeling?

Cheers,

Eric

I would prefer Lynn work to ban/destroy/do-away-with energy modeling.

Any chance this voo-doo engineering will go away any time soon?  It is
only
statistical analysis with no meaningful/useful results for anyone.

As a community I think we are going in the wrong direction for the right
goals.

All,

Lynn Bellenger will soon be the first female president of ASHRAE..ASHRAE
is
117 years young. Lynn's goal is to improve energy modeling. She is a PE
and a
BEMP and a LEED AP. She has even more letters after her name but you
will
have to ask her. She deserves every one of them. Lynn rocks. If I was a
betting woman, I would bet on Lynn to try to get this done. You will see
I
have attempted to cc her on this. I have also bcc'd her to make sure she
gets
the message.

A good night to all and to all a good night!

Carol

			Correction on Carol's response -
			There is no "compliance analysis" ruleset for
either
Oregon or 90.1-2004.  What Carol was referring to in eQUEST v3.63 (and
later)
is a jurisdiction-based defaulting mechanism within the building
creation
wizard(s) that includes Oregon-specific selections and defaults (which
are
based on the Oregon energy code).
			
			Compliance Analysis is quite a different
feature.
The CA Title-24 compliance analysis feature enables users to press the
compliance analysis button in the interface (the button Curt pressed
which
resulted in the message he circulated) to initiate a mechanism that
performs
a complete, performance-based compliance analysis on the proposed
building
design loaded into eQUEST.
			Two additional features are on the near horizon
with
regards to compliance analysis in eQUEST -
			(1) a LEED baseline generation ruleset which
does not
perform a complete LEED analysis but does generate a LEED (90.1-2007
Appendix-G) baseline model based on a user's proposed design.  This is
included in v3.64 which should be made available in the coming weeks
(pending
CEC certification).
			(2) compliance analysis based on Canada's MNECB
ruleset - to be included in a Canadian derivative of eQUEST, called
CAN-QUEST.  Not sure of the exact release date for CAN-QUEST, but I can
tell
you that users are training on it today @ the eSIM conference in
Winnipeg.
			
			There is nothing in the works to my knowledge in
terms of developing a compliance analysis capability for Oregon.

				Hi Curt.
				
				The Oregon rule set is in VS 3.63. I
helped
Scott put it there. When you select your city in Oregon you will see the
Oregon rules. In your email you say 90.1-2004. The Oregon compliance
rule set
is probably 2004 I just don't have time to confirm for sure.
				
				Good Luck, 
				Carol
