[Equest-users] Equest - Simulation Report BEPS

Just to reiterate Nicks point – 1 KBTU/ft2-yr is a REALLY low number – especially for source energy. Site energy typically runs much lower than source energy, and even that is normally an order of magnitude higher.

One extra thought:  Your expectation (<1 kBtu/SF/yr) catches my eye immediately…

If I’m not mistaken, only unconditioned warehouses have values under 1.0 for the 2030 challenge EUI targets.  I would expect any regularly occupied school to be magnitudes larger.

2030 challenge may not be on your project’s radar, but might serve a useful point of reference for what to expect.  Here’s a quick link:  www.architecture2030.org/.../2030_Challenge_Targets_National.pdf‎<http://www.architecture2030.org/.../2030_Challenge_Targets_National.pdf‎>

Best of luck!

Yes, please post your files, Ginnie. Otherwise, all is speculation.

Equest Users:

I am modeling a school building, and on this BEPS report for baseline run and parametric runs,
the Total Source Energy KBTU/SQFT-YR
Gross-Area and Net-Area number is higher than expected.
Actually, I would expect it to be quite a bit lower in the 0.75 range.

Anyone have some approach I could follow to verify these and what could be driving this
elevated number.   I could post INP and PD2 files if necessary.

Any and all suggestions are sincerely appreciated, and thank you in advance.
