Modify eQUEST.INI to get HVAC Summary file

Trick or treat?!
TRICK.

eQUEST can generate a handy HVAC Summary file (.csv) automatically when you simulate. You have to open the "eQUEST.INI" file and insert the line, "StoreResults_HVAC_Summary=1" as shown in the screen shot below. The eQUEST.INI file is in the eQUEST Data directory, in both 3.65 and 3.64, which can be found in Tools -> View File Locations -> View eQUEST Data Directory. Once you modify, and save the eQUEST.INI file, there will be a "YOUR_PROJECT_NAME - HVAC Summary.csv" file in the project folder after you open and simulate your project. I mostly use the Air-Side System Summaries portion of the file to help with automating fan power and EIR calculations for Baseline models.
