[Equest-users] results discrepancy between Rainbow report & DOE-2 BEPU report

[Nick Caton]

I *believe* the "rainbow" graphical reports are specific to only the EM1/FM1 default meters, and if you have included anything else in the way of sub-meters or separate utility rate metering that may not show up in these numbers (but will in the BEPU and other SIM reports).

For this reason, as a matter of course I have moved away from using the graphical reports and opt to use the PSE reports instead when assembling enduse consumption/demand documentation for LEED and similar levels of scrutiny - just to avoid such potential trip-ups.  The graphical reports are still great and useful, but it's good to be aware of what they might not be showing!

Subject: [Equest-users] results discrepancy between Rainbow report & DOE-2 BEPU report

Hi fellow modelers;   I've run into something funny this past couple days.  On a couple of my simulations I've noticed that the results numbers in the eQuest Rainbow report are slightly higher (approx 10%) than the output results in my DOE-2 BEPU report.

I've never observed this happening before--has anyone else?

Any thoughts and comments are welcomed!

Thanks,
Pasha
