HVAC efficiencies

To All,

I have scanned the document e-mails and found nothing on EER or SEER
conversion for the EIR and FIR performance curves. Can anyone tell me how to
change the efficiencies of the units in detail mode. I did the schematic
design wizard but the performance curves were turning out the same. HELP!!!

Thanks,

Peter,

see attached for the only official reference that I posess. Essentialy you
can easily calculate EIR from 1/COP of any performance value that you have.
The conversion from EER or SEER to COP is sometimes what is missed in this
exercised.

Hope this helps.

Pasha,

Thank you for the sheet. I assume most of the people using eQuest just use
the design wizards with EER entries to keep it simple. Unfortunately I
cannot go to the wizard because it makes other parts of our BIM process
complicated since our files are gbXML and I just use INP DOE conversion
files for eQuest so I have to learn in detail mode. I really appreciate the
help.

Thanks,

I'm impressed, Peter. I thought I was probably the only architect
trying to muddle my way through equest. And, I see you are a neighbor.
