<DIV></DIV>
<P>Hello,</P>
<P>I have been sub-ing out modeling work for some time now and have enough base
knowledge to take a crack a doing my own.</P>
<P>Besides the DOE manual and specific software manuals are there any
handbooks etc... that give a good information concerning energy
modeling</P>
<P>Any "rules of thumb" for estimating time required for developing models
in eQuest? I recognize there is a learning curve, I am asking more for someone
who know what they are doing. What are you looking at, time wise, for example
for a 3 storey, 30 000 sq. ft office with straight forward RTU's and curtain
wall?</P>
<P>One week, two week, 3 days?</P>
<P> Cheers,</P>
<P>Steve</P><BR>--
