Hello All,

I am fairly new to using Equest. (version 3.63). In a 12 page overview, it
indicates that future enhancements to Equest will include building energy
code compliance checking, initially: California Title 24 and later, ASHRAE
90-1. When modeling the base building for comparisons, I think the goal
would be to enter data that allows the base to just pass the 90-1 criteria,
such as a minimum btuh/ square foot efficiency. This would permit the
greatest difference to be shown in a comparison.

How does Equest control the base model to meet this 90-1 minimum? Is there a
built-in data checking/ evaluation/ editing mechanism or is it up to the
user to enter the exact minimum value data to show the base model just
meeting 90-1? Are certain parts of the Equest program calculating
mechanism following 90-1?

Thank you in advance,
