Hello all,
Can anyone tell me how to enter the Supply fan power, in watts, and the brake horsepower of the baseline fans into my model? I calculated them according to ASHRAE 90.1, but can't figure out what to do with them now.
- Thank you,

Hi Scott,
In Baseline system, First of all you have to calculate Fan BHP as per G
3.12.9, and then with the help of calculated BHP you can derive the Fan
power (kW) as per section G3.1.29, then you can calculate the kW/CFM for
each system.
Now, you can put this kW/CFM multiplier in eQuest at Design kW/CFM in system
tab/Fan/Fan Flow parameters (Sample attached).
If kW/CFM tab is not activate on your system, go on side tab static (in WG)
and do default, then kW/CFM tab will be activate.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Ashu Gupta
