[Equest-users] Modeling a smaller time span

[Nick Caton]

Hi Matt,

 

In detailed: Double click any of the "Hourly Report Blocks" under the Project + Site tab, and create a new block that defines what hourly information you want to see (see screengrab below).  This screengrab is a suggestion based on what you've described, but note there are a ton of options, so you may want to peruse to find exactly what you're looking for.

 

 

 

Run a simulation thereafter, and click on the "Hourly Results" button that appears on the top-right of the window you see when viewing the simulation output (Tools à View Simulation Output...).

 

This will open an excel file with the hourly results for every modeled hour in sequence, for any or all of the custom block variables you've defined.

 

~Nick

Hello eQuest users,

I am a new employee at an engineering consulting firm and am looking for some insight into using eQuest to complete a project that was asked of me.  I have been given a generic rectangle building, modeled it with the appropriate fenestration and materials, and want to conduct trials on it.  I want to use eQuest to simulate the solar effect on the building at a particular hour on a particular day of the year (say, 9am June 21st.)  I am wondering if this is possible, as all the results I have obtained so far from the program refer to monthly or annual figures.  Can someone help me out?
