[Equest-users] Unexplained Electric Space Heat

[Chris Jones]

DOE2.2, like DOE2.1e allows for the Electric Input Ratio for fossil 
boilers.  The EIR represents boiler components such as a blower 
fan.  I can't seem to locate the default for HW-BOILER in equest but 
for DOE2.1e the default EIR is 0.022.  If you don't override the 
default you will see Electric Heat in the results.  In the equest 
Boiler Properties input screen the Electric Input Ratio is at the 
right side of the dialog box.
