Here's one online source, however, I can't vouch for it.

This is another source where you can download training modules for free, but again, I can't vouch for the quality of the content.

If you Google eQUEST training, you'll see several other sources.
I can recommend a consultant that?trains on Equest?although the rate is a standard consulting rate.?
?
It has been well worth it in my opinion since it's comparable to a training session put on by Trane, etc.?
?
However, the training is one-on-one (over the phone and sharing screens) so you get a lot more out of it.

Check out www.korberenergy.com for more information.
If you haven't already, you might want to check the IBPSA (International Building Performance Simulation Association) website at www.ibpsa.us and check some of their resources. There is also a Seattle chapter of IBPSA that might be helpful: http://groupspaces.com/IBPSASeattle
I went through classroom training for eQUEST recently through the Energy Center of Wisconsin and would highly recommend it. This was a multiday course with knowledgeable and experienced teachers, and was very hands-on. It really helped to not only follow along as we built a model in class, but to be able to get personal help when something went awry.

The project buildings model was created with eQUEST and analyzed with
DOE2.1E http://bepan.info/doe21e-program
The advanced eQUEST presentation was by someone else.
I will try and get permission to include it in the website.
Marlin Addison also gave an eQUEST seminar at IIT earlier and handed out a
disk.
