[Equest-users] Serious T-24 issues.

[Chakraborty, Jude]

Hello all,

 

I am having some serious Title -24 compliance errors in equest. I really
apologize as I am attaching about 4 screenshots.  Hopefully I can get
some constructive responses. 

 

Every time I run the compliance run, it runs all through (100% through
all the steps with no errors) but the result is a non compliant building
with a message: " Hours outside throttling range >10 percent"

 

Now in my baseline building, the hours outside the throttling range is
only 0.06%. Please see the image below: I have about 20 unmet hours for
all the systems (4 VAV and 10 FCU).  

However when I look into the proposed building sim file and the standard
building sim file, it seems that I am having many hours outside the
throttling range.  I am attaching them as well.  And to add to my agony,
when it runs the simulation, it starts creating a file called, "Proposed
HVAC sizing.sim". But then when the simulation ends and I get the
non-compliance nod, the HVAC sim file vanishes.  While it was running, I
managed to capture a screenshot which I am attaching as well. 

 

Now my question is, how do I change my proposed design model to make it
compliant?  Equest also creates these Title-24 baseline and proposed
.inp files for both the building and the HVAC systems but they are all
blank. 

Did anyone have this experience with T-24 modeling before? I am at a
serious fix and any help will be highly appreciated. 

 

Thanks,

Jude.
