[Equest-users] space heating between natural gas VAV RTU and electric resistance terminal units

[Ramana Koti]

Dear all,

My question relates to distributing space heating between the central VAV
RTU (natural gas furnace) and PIU terminal units (electric resistanct
heating). My elecriticy consumption for space heating end use seems very
high from November to April which makes me suspect that the system is not
set up accurately - majority of space heating is wrongly being picked up by
electric resistance in terminal units as opposed to being picked up by the
natural gas furnace in the RTU.

>From the BEPS report, of the total annual energy consumption of 372.7 MBTU,
148.7 MBTU is electricity space heating and 7.6 MBTU is natural gas space
heating.

I have attached eQUEST screenshots of my heating and cooling cap/control
settings for this system. Any input on how this situation can be rectified
will be highly appreciated.

Thank you,
Ramana Koti.
