<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Dear colleagues,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am attempting to model my building's hot water system, however, my skills and knowledge about equest is limited. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The hot water system consists of 6 modular boilers with individual primary loop pumps and a VFD operated hot water distribution pump. The modular boilers are sequenced by the DDC system to maintain the heating water supply temperature at the hot water set point. When the hot water supply temperature falls below the supply set point, the DDC system will index an additional boiler on. Similarly, the DDC will turn boilers off as needed. Can this set up be modeled in eQuest? And if so, what needs to be done to model these controls?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am aware equest only allows 2 boilers to be modeled; the control aspects of this example is what I'm stumped on.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thank you in advance for your help,</FONT>
</P>
