for sun angles in different locale. That would change your heating and cooling
load no doubt.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey everyone,</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>My
question is regarding the way in which eQuest uses weather data. I've noticed
that the bin files are taken from the doe2 site, and for many smaller locations
they use a near by site's bin calcs. However, when comparing those two locations
(in my case Lewiston & Grangeville, Idaho), they come up with different
heating loads. Is there a local adjustment factors built into the way eQuest
uses local weather data? Thanks for the help.</FONT></P>
