Crina,

For the elevators, you can create a separate meter...

My only suggestion would be to perform a save-as and change the misc equipment energy consumption to zero for the elevator (and then do it again for the kitchen) to find the equipment usage and demand.

If your independent fans are exhaust fans, I would do the same thing that I mentioned above.

The reports in eQUEST will not break out the equipment but you can write a narrative explaining that eQUEST cannot separate these loads and explain your procedure. I believe that the reviewer simply wants to make sure that the energy consumption is the same for these items in the baseline and proposed model.

Dear users,

I received form USGBC the following comment:

"The project contains elevators and kitchen equipment in the actual design; however, the process energy related to the elevator and kitchen equipment was not included in each energy model, since Section 1.8 of the template does not include the process energy consumption for elevator or kitchen equipment. Revise the Proposed and Baseline models to include the process energy for elevator and kitchen equipment in the appropriate space in the models. In addition, update the template reflecting the changes."

The kitchen equipment and elevators were input in the model under the equipment tab for each space as designed but I couldn't separate them in eQuest from the Misc. Equip under the Consumption by Enduse Report or Demand Report. I verified everything I could and see how I can spit them and the only thing I found was this: "INTERIOR-EU - Accepts a list of up to 10 code-words specifying the end-use category of the INTERIOR-POWER. The code-words correspond to the end-use categories in the end-use reports (PS-E, PS-F, BEPS, BEPU). Acceptable entries are LIGHTS, TASK-LIGHTS, MISC-EQUIP, SPACE-HEATING, SPACE-COOLING, HEAT-REJECT, PUMPS&AUX, VENT-FANS, REFRIG-DISPLAY, HT-PUMP-SUPPLEM, DOMEST-HOT-WTR, and EXT-USAGE. "
In the end I understand that eQuest does not have the option of doing what the reviewer is asking for.

The reviewer also wants the independent fans to be separated from the supply and return fans which I didn't find how.

Am I missing something here?

Your help is appreciated.
Thank you.

Crina Bosch
