[Equest-users] Only natural gas consumption in February?

[James Hansen]

At first glance, I would say it is because:

 

1)  All spaces are underground, and the wall and floor construction  has
a pretty good insulation value.

2)  There is no outside air scheduled at all

3)  Whenever the space is occupied, there is a decent amount of lighting
and power to help with any internal heating requirements

 

I changed the OA to 17 CFM / person, and heating went up dramatically.

Hello,

I am doing an energy simulation for our College's church for some energy
efficiency retrofits. 

I can't figure out why my energy simulation is only using natural gas in
February in the Building Creation Wizard (simplified version). The
actual natural gas usage of the building I am trying to model is much
higher. I have been trying all day to tweak various items, but still
only shows consumption for February. The electricity usage (in kWh),
however, is very accurate.

 

What am I doing wrong/overlooking?

 

Thank you,

Claire Naisby
