<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Paul, you can add this line below to your eQuest.ini file (if it's not there already?) to get a listing of the equipment and AHU parameters.</P>
<P> StoreResults_HVAC_Summary=1</P>
<P>This will create a CSV file with the information in it.</P>
<P>No help with the extraction of the other reports. I used a simple approach where I used a macro to format the *.sim so that it's easier to read (select all, change font size smaller, and landscape pages)...but no extraction.</P>
<P>If anyone has some good VBA I'd be interested in seeing it, if it's public.</P>
<P>Lastly, I don't know if everyone knew this or not...but you can copy and paste items out of the "spreadsheet view".</P>

<DIV style="COLOR: #000000">
<P>Is anyone aware of a software tool/product or another means by which to easily extract/parse information found in the DOE-2 output/sim file? The e-QUEST-produced reports are helpful for summing up the results, but I would like to have quicker access to other information for calibrating/verifying/questioning my models. For instance, it'd be great to extract # of hours underheated or cooled, or perhaps I'd like to extract the DOE-2 -sized cfm or capacity values. With a lot of zones/systems this becomes a tedious task to deal with manually.</P>
<P>Any suggestions for a good method of doing this? I know some have written VBA to this end, but is that limited in flexibility or easily adaptable to all models (i.e. changing # of rooms affects line # in output file)? Any help would be much appreciated.</P>
<P>Regards,</P>
