[Equest-users] Electric Peak Demand

[Jones, Christopher]

Thank you guys.  I am so used to looking in the sim file that I never noticed those reports.

With results view open, left click on “reports” tab at the bottom left of the screen.

Your energy demand reports will be listed.

You can use those reports to get your peak demand numbers.

You may even want to check the eap2 tables (excel file), if you know what that is, to check the electrical demand being claimed for lighting, plug load power density, etc…

That would also help find inconsistencies in peak demand being claimed.

Nick,
I must admit I haven’t actually looked at the eQuest graphs and tables you included in your email.  So, I thought I would give it a try.  When I press the Results View button, I get the consumption graphs and tables for electricity and gas but I don’t get the second page with the demand information.  I am using eQuest v 3.65 7158.

Amy:  Sounds like a simple mix-up.

The BEPU report displays annual consumption totals for each meter.  The PS-F reports by contrast include both consumption sums and demand values corresponding to the hour of maximum draw for each end-use (scroll to the bottom for annual peaks and consumption totals).

You might find it easier for documenting your first few LEED models to reference the graphical end-use reports for consumption and demand – that’s how I started out:

I used the values found in the BEPU report to put in the online template.

This doesn’t sound like an issue with your electric rates. They are saying that the actual peak demand that you reported in the LEED template does not match the peak demand by end use stated in the PS-F report. What was the source of the values you inputted in Table EAp2-5?

I received the following comment back from USGBC and was hoping someone could help shed some light on this for me.

Table EAp2-5 indicates peak demands have been reported for the Baseline and Proposed cases; however, these values do not coincide with the energy modeling outputs provided.  For example, Table EAp2-5 indicates the Proposed Case lighting peak is 879.8 MBH (257.8 kWh); however, the PS-F report indicates the peak Proposed Case lighting power is 34.022 KW.  Review the energy modeling output reports and remove any demand value inconsistencies.

The project was designed around a uniform electric rate of $0.0703/kWh and this amount was entered in the Electric Utility Charge screen 4 of 7 in the wizard mode (photo attached).

Is the USGBC comment aimed at the utility rate or is it something that needs addressed back in Wizard mode?  If so, how do I go about fixing it?

Any help / guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks!
