[Equest-users] eQuest training

[CleanTech Analytics]

Yes most definitely- Before the class I had self taught eQuest, and taken
some LEED classes that where not directed at modeling.

My experience with energy-models.com is as follows-

   1. The LEED class was very useful, it really pin pointed what the very
   long ASHRAE 90.1 standard and users guide says about requirements for
   modeling. I highly advise this $30 class.
   2. The LEED fan power class (this one is more of a recorded webnar)-
   this unwinds the complexity involved with fan power classes- I highly
   advise this free class.
   3. eQuest- I was unsure if I needed this class, as a self taught eQuest
   and other software modeler- but there is just not many classes on modeling
   out there and I went ahead and took the class. My experience was great- as
   my self taught learning had left gaps in the way I understood how to use
   eQuest and how to create models in general. The class had very intuitive
   questions and answers at the end of each session.

Summery: Bob the teacher does a very good job of keeping it interesting- he
is a refrigerant engineer by training and worked for TRANE teaching TRACE
700 for some time- he is the kind of guy that will help you with questions
and knows the answers.

The LEED classes are basically the best resources I have found for LEED
modeling guidance, and come at very fair prices.

I would recommend the eQuest class for anyone who is either just getting
into modeling or would like to learn more about eQuest. Further I advise
anyone who is new to energy modeling to start with eQuest because of its
clickable documentation- pairing that with the energy-models.com class the
learning curve to get started as an energy modeler is  not too steep... On
a side note I do not do many models with eQuest lately- and have been
modeling with Design Builder/Energy Plus- but honestly I am very glad I
started with eQuest as I think I would have had a tough time getting
started otherwise.

Best regards and happy modeling-
