[Equest-users] lighting-schedule&lighting-demand

[Heinrich.ib-bauklima.de]

Nick,
and to all eQUESTERs who are still wondering about my model-output.
 
It seems to be a bug in the generated demand-output of the eQUEST-run.
When I write out the hourly reports of the lighting loads there is no
monthly fluctuation in the peak lighting loads.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
 
 
Heinrich

Heinrich, 

 

I’ve found something that may help or be a red herring
 

 

I tried running the simulation so I could view a few things in the
spreadsheet views, but I didn’t have the Dusseldorf weather file on-hand, so
without changing anything else I substituted a local weather file I had on
my computer for Kansas City, Missouri.

 

The results (see attached consumption/demand reports ) interestingly show
the area lighting fluctuating a good deal more than the demand report you
provided, suggesting whatever is off may be weather-dependant.

 

I do not see any daylighting specified for the interior lighting, which was
my initial guess, so there I am at a loss!  I’m not sure how else the
modeled interior lighting loads may be affected by the weather file/site
properties used (i.e. latitude/longitude)
 Does “Area Lighting” cover more
than interior lighting loads?  Perhaps someone more experienced can
comment
?  

 

I’ll be interested to hear your findings,

 

~Nick

 

PS: I’m unsure of whether a space being unoccupied might override any hourly
values entered in a lighting schedule...  I had a hunch this might be the
case since you appeared to have a clean block of months with uniformly
lowered demand.  Even so, I think I’ve verified it cannot  be a holiday
scheduling issue by changing your custom holiday schedule to “No holidays,”
and still observing fluctuating area lighting loads.

Dear eQUEST-Users,

 

 

this is a great community for troubleshooting in eQUEST.

So hopefully you can help me solving my problem with an eQUEST-model.

 

I have some serious trouble to model the lighting schedules of my baseline
building.

I defined the schedules as told from the client.

 

When I select some of the lighting schedules
(EXHIBIT,ARCHIVE,CONFER,KITCHEN,GARAGE) I get changes in lighting demand
over the year (Demand_Baseline_28f.pdf). 

But this is not correct. They should not change, because each of the
lighting schedules are modeled the same each week and do not change over the
year.

When I deselect these schedules I get constant lighting demands over the
year (BASELINE_28e.pdf).

I can't find any mistake in the lighting schedules.

 

Anybody know how to solve this?

Please feel free to check my eQUEST-model.

 

Thanks,

 

Heinrich
