Misc. Equipment Peak Demand (Natural Gas)

eQuest users,
While comparing my Baseline and Proposed annual peak demand charts, I find
that the natural gas demand for the Misc. Equipment (Cooking Eq.)
is completely different. The input for the cooking loads is the same for
both models and I am using the Building Creation Wizard.
On the other hand, when I check the monthly energy consumption reports, the
values are the same for each month (for baseline and proposed) and rightly
so.
I have checked the schedules and find no discrepancies between the two
models.
Let me know if someone has gone through a similar situation.

Imran,

I suspect the peaks are occurring at different times of the day, and the
schedule for the cooking equipment is different at those times. That
would account for the situation you are describing.
