[Equest-users] Data Entry - How much time is typically involved?

[John Aulbach]

Jeff:

It depends on:

a) How much accurate input data you need and 
b) What the level of modelling is

A good modeller (such may be found in these here parts on BLDG-SIM) might do it in 2 - 3 days, depending on if bill matching is required.

Subject: [Equest-users] Data Entry - How much time is typically involved?


We are just beginning the use of equest and I was trying to get an idea of the typical time it should take to create a model on an existing building.
The intended result is to have a model in place where scenarios can be run to help determine what future projects make sense regarding energy savings.
Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.
 
Here is the building description:
 
The building (29,256 s.f.) was constructed circa 1970-72 and is part of a larger campus.
Heat in the form of steam is produced by the central steam plant and distributed by exchangers
located within the facility. Cool air is produced by either a roof top unit (RTU) located on top,
or by cool water produced in the approximately 30 ton cooling tower located nearby.
The two-story masonry constructed building houses primarily educational facilities. 
 
Thank you,
