Alex,<br><br>With the caveat that I am not a programmer or a developer and with some trepidation I will say I think I know where you should go at least. The first part is a programming language, see above, but the last part looks like DOE2 BDL. It is probably from DOE2.1e since it's from LBNL. So going way back in the memory banks and scrolling down, down, and further down there is something labeled:<br>
<pre>##if #[Vintage[] eqs New ]<br> FHIR=1.3550 CEIR=.3703 <br>##elseif #[Vintage[] eqs Exist ]<br> FHIR=1.5015 CEIR=.41667 <br></pre><br>I'm pretty sure that FHIR is what you want and if my memory serves, a big if, it represents 1/eff so the first one, age New, would be 79.7%, and the second one, age Exist, would be 66%. Since this kind of makes sense, I might be right! If I'm not, hopefully someone who knows more will correct me.<br>
<br>Maybe you can verify this by changing it. I've never used RESFEN myself.<br><br>Let me know what happens.<br><br>Carol<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 3:46 PM, Alex Krickx <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:akrickx@seriousmaterials.com">akrickx@seriousmaterials.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a question about RESFEN that I’m hoping this
list can help me get my head around. RESFEN is developed and maintained by LBNL
and I believe runs off the DOE2 engine. The software is simple to use because of
its limited inputs, however I want to change one of those restricted inputs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m trying to change the boiler performance which I <i>think
</i>I can do by editing the building description file (which RESFEN labels as a
.d2 file). I’ve attached the file and saved it in a .txt format for all
to see.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My question is: Can someone proficient in the DOE2 language
help me decipher where and how to edit the efficiency of the boiler in the
attached file? I don’t know the part load, just that the boiler in
question operates at 60% efficiency. If this is to broad a question please let
me know and I will attempt to clarify.</p>
