Dear folks,
I am simulating a LEED-certified building. Purchased steam is provided to
the proposed design. Baseboard radiation using hot water that is exchanged
from purchased steam is used to heat the zone. In Equest, the zone heat
source is defined as STEAM. Chillers are of absorption-type connected to a
hot water loop, which is actually a steam loop.
After the simulation, my problem is that energy use for the space heating is
zero in the sim file. Please advise what is the proper setting for such a
baseboard system in Equest.
Please also advise what is the proper practice to set purchased steam.
Thanks in advance.
Jessi
Thank you all for your responses. I am having trouble finding the fixed
shades and building shades in eQuest. I noticed they are in the DOE-2 Help
but not the eQuest Help files. Is this possible to do in eQuest? Could I
be missing a plug-in? Also, when I click on the 'Project & Site' tab, the
screen says "no spreadsheet currently defined". I am obviously missing a
step as far as implementing these building shades. Any ideas?
Thanks everybody.
Andrew
