Hi,

I'm trying to use eQuest for a LEED submission. It aint easy!

I can get my proposed model to run the LEED compliance check and generatw a
LEED baseline model. The trouble is, this baseline has a single large PIU
HVAC system rather than the 9 Packaged system of the proposed model.

IS this valid? Systems very strange to me!

Just a hunch, but check the value input for COMPLIANCE:C-901-NUMFLRS.
See "Step 2: Enter Compliance and Site Parameters Information" in the
document "LEED Analysis.pdf" found in the Help/Tutorials and Reference
eQUEST menu selection. Make sure that value reflects the actual
building. If it's more than 5, and the heat source is "electric and
other" you will get a PIU baseline system per Table G3.1.1A.
