Hi All,
I have used the summary report to identify systems/zones with unmet
cooling hours and addressed them to the point that the report now shows
no one zone with more than 233. However, when I check the BEPS it shows
2174. I have not come across this before. I am hoping someone can shed
some light on my next move.
Thanks,
Gerry Hazel
Gerry,
The summary report in eQUEST illustrate noncoincidental unmet load hours while the BEPS shows coincidental unmet load hours. I did not open your file, but I'm guessing you have core and perimeter zones with unmet load hours at different times due to their load profiles. When I have that many unmet cooling load hours on my BEPS reports I usually do one of the following:
1) Look for a rogue zone causing issue
2) Look at the 'big' picture (i.e. did I specify a schedule or have another input that conflicts in the model and is preventing proper cooling).
3) After exhausting all other resources, I start manually increasing my airflows in individual zones to decrease the unmet load hours.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
