[Bldg-sim] heating and cooling capacity inconsistency

[Ramana Koti]

Dear all,

I am trying to document the predicted energy performance of a 26000
ft2 christian life program building that would serve poor and
homeless. It's near 100% construction and the eQUEST energy model
results give me the following warning messages. The cooling and
heating capacities entered were directly taken from HVAC equipment
manufacturer's submittal. Is there an explanation for this or am I not
doing something right?
