Does eQUEST provide equivalent full load heating hours in any of its reports? If so, where can I find it? Thanks!

Sort of. The PS-C report provides the number of hours in 10% increments. You could use that to calculate full load hours.

You could also run an hourly report plotting the part load ratio. Sum the PLR values to get full load hours.

Hope that helps.

If you are looking for packaged equipment, then SS-P will have the 10% increments of your equipment operation.

Or divide the total consumption by the peak hourly value. Both are available by end use from the PS-E / PS-F reports.

If you need a specific piece of equipment and a very accurate EFLH you could always assign it to a different meter and output the heating end-use by hour and calculate it in a spreadsheet.
