[Equest-users] evaporative coolers in equest

[Patrick J. O'Leary, Jr.]

are you trying to show the cooling benefit of the windows?  or just 
comparing the evap cooler to a baseline packaged unit?

i've done this with fire stations, and been successful, but it is often 
more in the ventilation savings from not running a compressor in the 
evap system than the building envelopes themselves.  at least in my 
experience.  there is also the trade off in the simulation though that 
the evap cooler will have probably have a larger fan power (in reality) 
than the baseline packaged unit.

and if a leed project don't forget the baseline outside air is the 
minimum required, which will probably be lower than your evap even if it 
is not a 100% outdoor air system.
