[Equest-users] Unexpected energy consumption related to occupancy increase

[Morteza Kasmai]

Dear All,

Something strange is happening in this proposed model. When I change the
total building occupancy from eQuest default numbers (321) to real numbers
that I have for the actual design (361), total building energy consumption
increases tremendously (from $135,741 to $144,114). However, when I
increase the occupancy in the baseline model (with System 6), the total
building energy consumption does not increase too much. Please refer to the
attached files (INP and PD2 files of proposed model with different building
occupancy).

I would appreciate your comments on this issue,

Morteza
