 List, I do not mean to cause controversy but I am going to re-post this to
see if it gets a response this time.


When I had an issue I tracked down the phone number for the Hirsch's of
805-532-1045, and left a voicemail, then was texted back the message
"please send email to jeff.hirsch at doe2.com and when I emailed the below I
never got a response, and after that as well as after much research showed
there is no DOE funding, or sales revenue to fund the eQuest project
assumed that the project is "dead"....If I am wrong, someone from the
eQuest development team please respond to my questions?


Jeff,
I am working on a LEED compliance building model in eQUEST, and have to ask you
a question. So I created a building that has zero insulation, standard
lighting watts/sqft and ran the compliance analysis. The building that is
not at code energy costs are in the sixty thousand range, and the
0,90,180,270 average that should be at code is in the ninty thousand
range.This %30 savings for the building that has zero insulation over the
building that has been auto generated to be complaint with ASHRAE/LEED
shows that for some reason the building that is not at code (zero
insulation) uses 30% less then the building that is suppose to be at code,
and I am sure that the software is wrong.

Now I have read the PDF published on the subject, and am very curios if the
compliance analysis tool is something that you believe to work correctly?
(I would be happy to find out I made some error, but can not find any such
errors on my part, and someone told me that the tool does not work so I
doubt it is error on my part)
