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

[David Eldridge]

Can you use a file comparison tool to compare the two *.inp files and see what differences resulted, beyond those that were intended?

I like Compare-It! for this purpose, and there are others.

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).
