Dear all,
?
I am working with an energy analysis?in eQuest of a?grocery store at Mexico City.?? The grocery store is a small 9,217 sq.ft. with?138 people (approx) at the same time (67 sq.ft./person).? The only loads that I am using are lighting and appliances.? The store is considered as a "dry store".? I am not placing any big commercial refrigerator for meat.?
?
I have some problems with the infiltration and ventilation. The more I read about these topics and try to apply the information to the model, the more confused I get over and over again.? I am not sure if I have introduced the right data to eQuest.? I used 0.161 ACH for infiltration from the following source in page 32 (infiltration) in the internal loads for the space properties:

I am not sure if I input this in the right place.? The ventilation is another issue that I do not have any clue.? What should I put and where should I put it?? These are the only problems, with my limited experience,?that could be causing some problems.??? I am attaching the INP and the PD2 files plus an AutoCAD file, because I drew the floorplan and imported it to eQuest.? Please, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
