Hello eQuest Users,

I am modeling an apartment complex that has a central gas boiler system
serving in-unit heat pumps. The baseline building has code minimum EER
and COP for heating and cooling. The first measure I performed was
increasing the EER and COP, and this produced accurate results. Upon
adding a variable speed drive to the heat pump loop as an improved
measure, there is a significant increase in the amount of therms being
used for space heating, but as expected the electrical consumption and
peak decrease significantly. Does anyone have an explanation as to why
this increase in therms is happening?

Thanks,

Jay

Has anyone noticed any big differences in 3.63 and 3.63B. I ran a multizone system in 3.63B Which was made in normal 3.63 and it used almost 3 times the amount of gas. This happened to anyone else?

I built a model using Energy Pro 5 but have found the program unable to
model VAV fume hoods.

I would like to model only the Labs in the building using eQUEST.

Does eQUEST allow one to model part of a building only? If so how would

I build the model?

Thanks,

CHRIS CLARK

Forgive me if?I misunderstand you. eQuest can certainly model a single room, a group of rooms, a whole building or, for those with deep pockets funding, an entire college campus with hundreds of buildings.

You certainly just model lab hood VAV within a single room or set of rooms.
