[Equest-users] eQUEST v3.65 build 7163 released Mar 18 2014 - fixes hourly report viewer

[Kathryn Kerns]

Kevin, I understand your frustration. The most time wasting thing about
eQuest is its inability to reorganize spaces easily within its Wizard
footprint without going back into the Wizard and blowing out all the DE
edits. Architects can't leave floor plans alone, and inevitably, the
final interior zones in a model are different from the zones you started
with. My bosses have commented on this unfortunate issue more then once
because it causes deadline delays. 

 

Does anyone have some suggestions other than going back into the Wizard,
reorganizing the zones, and then trying to insert the changes into the
original DE model? Inserting the geometric changes seems to be the
biggest problem. Has anyone found an easy way to do that?

I am entirely disappointed with the so called improvements to equest.
Why suddenly when I have a space with an unreferenced zone and I
recreate the reference to about 30 zones, then close and reopen, all
work to unreferenced spaces is gone.  Also, trying to implement floor
plan revisions have always been the worst.  This is uncalled for.  In
the 8 years or so that I have been using this program, it has improved
very little overall and perhaps taken a step backwards in some regards.
I have been telling myself to make this project the last one in equest
for years now, even doing openstudio side-by-side with equest for the
building form for many.  It might be safe to say that equest is no
longer the most productive.  It does not bring me pleasure to write
this, as I will have to do the painstaking process of becoming more
familiar with openstudio and wasting a few hundred more hours.  However,
it seems that may be more worthwhile than dealing with the glitches and
everyday slowisms of equest.

I was visiting doe2.com this morning (as you do from time to time -- you
know) and found that there was a relatively recent release of a new v
3.65 build.  From the "what's new" document:

 

eQUEST v3.65

build 7163 - public release ~ 18 March 2014 - w/ DOE-2.2 v48r 

Fixes:

* Fixed issues with the simulation detailed results viewer application
(D2SimViewer.exe) that 

prevented the viewing of hourly results in some instances (all appeared
as zero values) when 

the correct results were located on the simulation output file (the .sim
file).

* Fixed issues with the installation procedure sometimes failing in
cases where the installation is 

directed to a drive mounted from a network location.

 

Since I just sent this to the whole mailing list, you may wish to wait
for a few days before downloading the new build.  I don't want to cause
an unexpected flood of download requests on the doe2.com site.

 

If others notice a new eQUEST release, please post a note here.  I tend
to miss them.

 

Cheers,

Brian
