[Equest-users] Energy Code Compliance - LEED (90.1)

[Yoni Pollak]

I agree with what you are saying but under the Project & Site Tab, if you
select Project in the Component Tree, there is a keyword regarding Energy
Code Compliance and you select the code version (LEED 3.0, Title 24, etc.)
I have not been able to get this to work.  In reading the help, it seems
that there should be 901 SCH items built into eQuest.

Hi Yoni,

 

Strictly, eQuest can be used as a means to demonstrate compliance via the
energy cost budget method (ECBM, section 11), but there is not an automated
process built in as you might be envisioning.

 

eQuest's "90.1" libraries & references are specifically for use in
developing an Appendix G baseline (not ECBM) for LEED 3.0, which is to say
90.1-2007.  

 

That said, I'd feel remiss to not mention that 90.1 compliance is nearly
always most easily performed prescriptively, not with any energy model.  If
it's an option, I would prefer to start from scratch prescriptively over a
modeling approach (your developed model can still be used alongside as a
reference for takeoffs and equipment details).  COMcheck in particular makes
prescriptive compliance/documentation very easy.

 

Best wishes,

 

~Nick

Greetings Users,

 

Does eQuest version 3.64 model energy compliance against 90.1 standards?  I
have been able to create parametric runs and manually enter the 90.1 values
but it looks like eQuest should do that for me.  In reading about it, there
should be a library with 90.1 construction items, like walls and windows.  

 

Any information will be much appreciated!
