[Equest-users] Percent of Hours Outside of Throttling Range

[Seth P. Spangler]

I personally use the SS-R report from the sim file. It breaks out which zones have unmet hours and whether or not they are under heated or cooled. It is also a good resource to check how your systems are operating as it includes hours in the part load ranges.

Imran:

I believe you are correct. ASHRAE-90.1, Appendix G refers to actual number of hours.

However, if you also go the the Airside Tab in eQuest, then hit the Summary Tab below it, then click on the Project Icon in the tree diagram, you will get a zone by zone hours of Heating and Cooling loads not met. A really nifty scoreboard of data.
