Ice rink model and gbXML

Hi all,

I am reading in Energy Models that there is an example of an ice rink model. If somebody has or know how to set in eQUEST, that would be awesome. I can't find it.

I know that this has been asked before, but is it easier now to use gbXML files from other software to import into eQUEST? How?

Regards,

Paul

There is an Ice Rink module within eQuest. The only way we have found to access in the GUI is thru Air-Side HVAC > Spreadsheet view > dropdown to 'Ice Rink'

Hope this helps.

Hello Paul:

You'll find a somewhat dated, but useful ice rink model in DOE-2.1e that was calibrated to measured data from a Rec Center:

Haberl, J., Claridge, D. 1985. ?Retrofit Energy Studies of a Recreation Center,? ASHRAE Transactions-Research, Vol. 91, Pt. 2, pp. 1421 ? 1433 ESL-PA-85-12-01 (December).

Dow, J., Haberl, J. 1981. ?Energy Conservation Study for The Student Recreation Center, University of Colorado at Boulder,? submitted to the Student Recreation Center, University of Colorado at Boulder, 240 pages.

Hi Jeff,

I will take a look of the DOE-2.1e information from those documents.

Thanks for your help,
