<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear colleagues</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I´m using eQUEST to simulate the energy demand of
some buildings for few months. Now I´m trying with a kind of shopping
mall. In the results, it can be seen that the building needs
cooling during all the year, even in winter. This makes sense to me
because the ilumination load is huge but my question is:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1º Can eQUEST take advantage of the outside
temperature (in winter) to save energy for cooling? I think this is called
free-cooling but I don´t know it is an usual process or if it´s
profitable, where can I find good information about
free-cooling? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and another question not related is</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2º In eQUEST menu "building envelope constructions"
I would like to know which are the exact meaning of the numbers in
expressions like "metal frame, 2x6, 24 in. o.c." ¿where can I found an
image?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3º Does anybody know if it´s a good idea using
the construction intelligent default of eQUEST for European
buildings? </FONT> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you all</FONT></DIV>
