eQUEST File Names and Extension Names | File Exten |
| Program Inputs Description of contents / Purpose | |
| eQUEST Project /Wizard definitions file. These files contain only "user inputs" => data that is to override project/wizard defaults. | .PD2 |
| DOE-2 BDL input file (typically written by eQUEST based on the contents of the wizard database or detailed interface). | .INP |
| eQUEST Parametric Run inputs, defining changes made to DOE-2 BDL keyword/parameter values describing one or more parametric/efficiency measure runs (option under Tools menu). | .PRD |
| Textual Program Simulation Results | |
| DOE-2 simulation results and log in text format. This file is not the source of the results echoed to eQUEST output files and reports, as those are retrieved from the binary results files, but this text version is helpful in locating simulation errors and reviewing detailed simulation results via a text editor. | .SIM |
| Potentially multiple files output for informational and debugging purposes as follows: | .CSV |
| "<project file> - Parms.CSV" -Written whenever EEM (wizard-based) or Parametric (BDL-based) runs or Title-24 or Savings By Design analysis performed, containing results from each simulation to enable analysis and debugging outside eQUEST. | |
| "<project file>_EG_MoEU_ED.CSV" - Monthly Enduse Elec/Gas Energy/Demand results - written by default - turn off by specifying "StoreResults_EG_MoEU_ED=0" in [preferences] section of eQUEST.ini. | |
| "<project file> - HVAC Summary.CSV" - Summary of all HVAC simulation results in somewhat fixed format - NOT written by default - turn on by specifying "StoreResults_HVAC_Summary=1" in [preferences] section of eQUEST.ini. | |
| Binary Simulation/Analysis Results | |
| Hourly Loads results from the DOE-2 simulation in binary format. | .LIN |
| Hourly HVAC results from the DOE-2 simulation in binary format. | .SIN |
| Non-hourly Loads results from the DOE-2 simulation in binary format. | .LRP |
| Non-hourly HVAC results from the DOE-2 simulation in binary format. | .SRP |
| Non-hourly Economics results from the DOE-2 simulation in binary format. | .ERP |
| eQUEST life-cycle analysis results | .LCR |
| eQUEST parametric run analysis results | .PRR |
| Textual Program Logs & Non-Result Outputs | |
| eQUEST project log, where project open and wizard defaulting/processing messages are written. | .PDL |
| "<project file>.LOG" - DOE-2 simulation log file | .LOG |
| "<project file< BDL read.log" - log written during reading of DOE-2 BDL input file | |
| Log file written during execution of all Title-24 and SBD analysis. | .CAL |
| Inclusion of "DebugCompliance=1" in the [preferences] section of the eQUEST.ini file will cause the .CAL file to include an echo of each and every compliance analysis rule execution & result. | |
| File written during translation of wizard database into DOE-2 BDL file containing information needed to disaggregate the DOE-2 Misc enduse hourly results into the expanded wizard enduses. | .XEU |
| Output echo of DOE-2 BDL database processor contains an echo of the BDL input along with caution, warning and error messages encountered by DOE-2 during the process of reading the BDL input file. | .BDL |
| eQUEST simulation history - textual record of all simulations performed for this project - used to populate Project/Run tree within results module. | .PDH |
| File written immediately prior to each DOE-2 simulation containing component names of various BDL input commands - used to facilitate retrieval of results from DOE-2's hourly and non-hourly binary results files. | .NHK |
| DOE-2 BDL & Simulation Run Files | |
| Binary "control" file which contains information used to control the simulation including parametric DOE-2 | .CTL |
| runs - written by BDL and read by the simulation control routines Binary "standard" file containg all the | .STD |
| project info needed by DOE-2.2 to perform a simulation -written by BDL and then read by the simulation. | .DSN |
| Binary "design" file written by simulation components LOADS and HVAC containing design-day and weather | .LDO |
| files run results used for sizing or setup by the next down stream program component. Binary LOADS hourly output file which contain all the information needed by the hourly HVAC program Binary HVAC hourly output file which contain all the information needed by the hourly ECONOMICS program. | .PLO |
