<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua">Table G-E to G-N in the User Manual for ASHRAE
90.1-2004 provides the default schedules (occupancy, lighting, HVAC, DHW
and Elevator) which can be used for Appendix G analysis if the
actual schedules are not known.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua">Moreover, if you are using eQuest then in the
detail mode go to daily schedules and right click and select 'create daily
schedules' and in the pop-up window click on 'Load Component from Library'.
Form the drop down menu in the 'Category' select 'Elevator Schd' and
from drop down menu in the '</FONT><FONT face="Book Antiqua">Entry' select
the appropriate schedule. And then go on to make weekly and annual schedules.

<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua">I have not made a comparison, but they
might be a bit different from the schedules provided in the User Manual.

<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua">Furthermore, you can assign the elevator
power data (in kW) directly to the Electric Meter using the 'Interior Direct
Loads' tab and then selecting the elevator schedule from the drop down menu.
This enduse can be assigned to Misc Equipment and will show up in
addition to the plug loads in the BEPU and BEPS
report. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Eric,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks a lot for your reply.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a further question. If we have the elevator power data, what
appropriate schedule should we use to approximately to get the elevator annual
energy use?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I checked the ASHREAE Appendix G but cannot find appropriate schedule for
elevators.</DIV>
<DIV>I think the schedule of elevators are quite diffent from other schedules
like occupancy scheule. One example, supposing people work from 8am to 6pm
continuously, I guess that elevator working schedule should not be the same.
Do you have any ideas what appropriate schedule should we use?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks a lot.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>

ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G requires modeling elevator energy as long as it is
designed in the project. You can come up a realistic schedule or stick to a
standard schedule in Appendix G if necessary.

asking the energy use of elevators. But it seems that there is no very

simulate building energy use according to ASHRAE 90.1-2004 for LEED

Is it a must do? Could somebody with experience with this topic give me some
hints?<BR><BR>Thanks a lot in
