eQUEST

We offer eQUEST training packages for every level of eQUEST user -- from true beginner to seasoned expert.

Our video lessons spend time showing you how to use eQUEST -- instead of slides -- learn by watching experts use eQUEST.

Learn eQUEST at your own chosen speed and without information overload! Pause, rewind and rewatch if you miss something, as many time as you want.

eQUEST Courses

eQUEST Advanced How To guide

In this course we cover tough topics and show you how to input them step by step into eQUEST.

eQUEST 320 Real World Step by Step

In this beginner to advanced course, we cover creation of a building from real design drawing and a real .dwg file. We consider advanced zoning and advanced shell stacking in this detailed 3 story building. Then, we move to detailed mode and work on geometry setup in the building.

eQUEST 301 Building Set Up

In this course we give you the building designs and specifications and then show you how to input them step by step into eQUEST.

eQUEST 201 Training

This eQUEST course takes you from basic wizards through advanced topics, with lots of demo's within eQUEST.

eQUEST Toolbox

The eQUEST toolbox gives you preferential access to our space renamer and load extractor. You can upload zip of your sim file to speed up processing substantially.

About eQUEST

eQUEST is FREE and easy to download. It's also the most popular energy-modeling software and can be used in any stage of a product from Schematic plans to full building simulation. eQUEST gives Instant Gratification. Anyone with a little industry experience can run basic eQUEST runs within 1 day. It's built on DOE 2.2 - a highly respected and powerful energy simulation engine.

What is eQUEST

eQUEST is the DOE 2 engine with wizards and graphics built on top of it. eQUEST is the most popular energy modeling program in existence. It's used by energy modelers and engineers all over the world. One big contributing factor to it's popularity is its cost, FREE, and the fact that it's built on the DOE 2 simulation engine. The other benefit of eQUEST is that it can be used at every stage of building development, from the early designs to final stages.

Using eQUEST

eQUEST allows you to import building geometry from architectural models. Or you can construct a building envelop within the program. From there you can run simple simulations or very complex models. There are three input wizards in eQUEST that all have differing levels of complexity, or you can use the detailed DOE-2 interface. They wizards are as follows: Schematic Design Wizard (simple inputs), Design Development Wizard (detailed input) and Energy Efficiency Wizard. Each wizard has extensive default inputs that are based off California Title 24 building energy code. Long-term average weather data (TMY, TMY2, TMY3, etc.) for 1000+ locations in North America are available via automatic download from within eQUEST (requires Internet connection).
