[Equest-users] Modify eQUEST.INI to get HVAC Summary file

[Dominique Michaud]

Bill,

 

First off, thank you very much for this great tip/trick.

 

I'm hoping you, or anyone else on the board, has another trick up your
sleeves. I have a multitude of simulations I need to run and I need to
generate the base hourly results for each. This is conventionally done by
clicking on Tools > View Simulations Output > Open then clicking on the
Hourly Results button in the D2SimViewer (see below)

 

Is there a way to modify the eQuest.ini file, similar to the tip in the
previous post, that will have eQuest generate the Hourly Results by default
when running a simulation?

 



 

Thank you in advance for any help,

Trick or treat?!

TRICK.

 

eQUEST can generate a handy HVAC Summary file (.csv) automatically when you
simulate. You have to open the "eQUEST.INI" file and insert the line,
"StoreResults_HVAC_Summary=1" as shown in the screen shot below. The
eQUEST.INI file is in the eQUEST Data directory, in both 3.65 and 3.64,
which can be found in Tools -> View File Locations -> View eQUEST Data
Directory. Once you modify, and save the eQUEST.INI file, there will be a
"YOUR_PROJECT_NAME - HVAC Summary.csv" file in the project folder after you
open and simulate your project. I mostly use the Air-Side System Summaries
portion of the file to help with automating fan power and EIR calculations
for Baseline models.

 



 

Regards,

Bill
