[Equest-users] Design day for Appendix G Baseline sizing runs

[Bishop, Bill]

I have been letting eQUEST determine baseline equipment capacities using
the weather files selected by the wizard, rather than creating 99.6%/1%
design days as allowed by G3.1.2.2.1. Does anyone recommend using design
days for LEED/Appendix G baselines? If so, how do you determine
DRYBULB-RANGE, or do you set it to zero to run the same DRYBULB-HIGH
temperature 24/7/365? Does the design day method typically maximize
baseline energy consumption compared to TMY/TMY2 weather files?
 
Thanks,
Bill
