Can anybody please tell whether Mean radiant temperature values are
generated in eQUEST output file ? How to obtain these values from eQUEST
output file ?
MRT values are not an output in DOE2.2. The reason is that it uses the
weight factor method for load calculations. This method is very fast
because the zone heat balance is solved just once, and all hourly
calculations are simply calculated in a linear fashion using
superposition. In the process, however, information regarding hourly
surface temperatures is lost.
There was a modification to the previous version of DOE2 (version DOE2.1e)
which allowed the surface temperatures to be estimated by reversing the
weight factor method each hour. I"ve never used it, but I think there are
others on this list who might be familiar with it.
I was going to start the energy simulation on eQUEST software but i can't find the option for LEED CI project for choosing as a baseline,
Can we done a simulation of LEED CI projects on eQUEST if yes then please tell me how we can select the baseline LEED CI because there is no option for it except LEED NC (APPANDIX G).
Prasad,
