<P class=MsoNormal>Hi! I’m fairly new to eQuest (and building energy
too) and I’ve been using eQuest for a short period of time now, and I’m
pretty<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>decent in using it. However, I have no means to verify
my simulation results to find out if my modeling assumptions, and the way I use
eQuest<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>are correct. I mainly use eQuest t find out HVAC
cooling requirements for specific projects, for example, a friend of mine
recently bought a house<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>and consider to install a HVAC system. I verified the
proper tonnage (or BTU/Hr) and came with a pretty good answer, but unless he buy
the HVAC<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>unit and install it, there is no real way to find out if my
results are correct. Does anybody have a example project with results that
I can trust ??<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Also maybe a tutorial with complete exercises and
answers?<o:p></o:p></P>
