Unmet loads.

Dear all,

my second question today. I would like to be sure if my understanding is
right or not about not met loads. Currently I am trying to fill up the
LEED EA Credit 1 submittal. Section 1.3 Advisory Messages There are :
1. Number of hours heating loads not met
2. Number of hours cooling loads not met

I turn back to my e-Quest outputs ( BEPS Report) in the report I read:

a. PERCENT OF HOURS ANY SYSTEM ZONE OUTSIDE OF THROTTLING RANGE (Question:
this value is number of heating loads or should be written in LEED
submittal?)(20,9 for Proposed and 23,0 for Baseline, I am not mechanical
engineer but as much as I understood from ASHRAE number of hours not met
should not exceed 300)
b. PERCENT OF HOURS ANY PLANT LOAD NOT SATISFIED ( Question: this value is
for both number of hours heating and cooling not met or just for
Cooling?)(Both in baseline and Proposed 0,0)

regards

I'm not sure if I fully understand your question but I'll try to help you
out. The number of hours that are not met can be found in the summary tab
of the "Air-side HVAC" tab in eQuest. It's also listed in the .sim file,
but its easily found within eQuest. The BEPS report does not give the
number of hours, rather just the percentage. If your model is showing over
20% of the hours out of range you will definitely need to go back and resize
your systems.

Steve,
thank you very much indeed, yes you understood my question right. I was
just not sure because in the archiv of Bldg-sim I read that the results
can be found in BEPS and SS-F for each Zone.
