<p class=MsoNormal>The names you create in the Wizard disappear in the Detailed
Edit. Better to write them down, then translate them into the proper
spaces/zones. I understand this problem may go away in eQuest 3.64, when it
becomes available.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The other question has to to with LOADS and SYSTEMS peak
sizes. LOADS is strictly the "barn" without any outside air or coil
attached to it. The SYSTEMS outputs have a fan, coil, and ventilation attached.
Even with No OSA, you have fan heat, coil loosses, and duct losses that will
change your results.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a question about some of the outputs from EQUEST that
focus on space and peak loads. First of all, the random question. When I
modeled my recent building, I created my 'spaces' so that each space would be
it's own zone. This made it very simple for creating zone groups (applying
templates) in the DD wizard, but I had a problem in that when I went into the
detailed edit and named the spaces, these changes did not occur to the 'zone'
names in the HVAC tab. Does anyone know a way to change these simultaneously or
a better workflow suggestion (this one my first use of equest for the detailed
edit)??<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Now onto my 2nd question, I'm using Equest to calculate my
HVAC loads (system and space). For 3 of the 5 systems, I used a generic
OA/person but for two systems, I went ahead and put a set OA cfm(for a system)
into one zone and put the other zones at zero. Anyways, here is my question.
When looking at the outputs, I cannot figure why the difference between SV-A
(System Design Parameters) and LS-A (Space Peak Loads Summary DESIGN DAY).For
instance, in the system that I turned the OA air off in most of hte zones, I'm
still getting differences in the results and do not understand this. Any help
in explaining these differences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
