[Equest-users] Gas Misc. Equip. Load

[Nick Caton]

Kristy and others:

 

To address this query more generally, check out the "Modeling Procedures
Quick Reference Guide" PDF which you can reference under the help menu
in eQuest (it came with your eQuest installation).  Page 155 onwards
breaks down each reported end-use category, examples of what's included
in each, and where in equest you might start looking to review those
inputs.  I find these pages make a fairly handy reference to tape to
one's cubicle wall...  

 

I'd attach but the file is bit large =).

Hi all,

 

Thanks for the input.  To answer a few questions...  I am in Detail Edit
Mode.  I have already checked to see if any loads have been applied to
the Fuel Meter in error and they have not.  

 

It could be kitchen or laundry equipment.  Once I'm in Detail Edit Mode,
can anyone tell me where I can check for these loads?

Hi Kristy:

 

Without the .INP and .PD2 file, it could be a few things. I don't know
if you are still in the Wizard or not.

 

It could be a cooking or laundry equipment load.

 

But if you are in the Detailed Edit mode, you can generate a Building
level gas load undet the Utilities and Economics tab on top, then to the
tree on the left to the FM1 Fuel meter.

Hi all,

 

I am getting a Miscellaneous Equipment gas load on a model that I'm
working on.  Does anyone know where in the inputs this type of energy
would be generated?  Misc. Equip. is usually found in the "Equipment"
section of the Internal Loads, but all of my Equipment is assigned to my
Electric Meter.  Any insight would be much appreciated.  Thanks!
