Hi:
New to eQuest. Gas consumption in the Monthly Total Energy Consumption
report seems to be given in Btux100,000, the same as reporting in Therms.
Thus, an annual consumption of 36.36 in the chart really means 360,000 Btu,
or 36.36 Therms. In the same project run, the Annual Bldg Summary 2-page
report is giving annual gas use as 364 Therms. Do I have my units mixed up
or is there an order of magnitude reporting glitch?

eQUEST is reporting in MBTU's = 1,000,000 BTU's = 10 therms. In some
reports it will use therms, but for the most part it's MBTU's. 364 therms
= 36.4 MBTU's, which lines up with your other reports.

Thank you for your replies. There is a similar use of MBtu and Therm units
in the Revit Conceptual Energy Analysis application, which is running the
DOE2 simulation engine. The ambiguity in reporting units makes for some
confusion.
