I don't think E-quest can do it because the minimum indoor temp can not be set below 55F. I have done something similar before in E-Plus and it worked fine.<br>Hussein<br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "RobertWichert" <robert@wichert.org><br>To: bldg-sim@lists.onebuilding.org<br>Sent: Friday, March 30, 2012 1:58:38 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern<br>Subject: [Bldg-sim] Cold Storage<br><br>This question has been asked before, but I can't actually find an answer <br>anywhere.<br><br>The question is basically what simulation tool can be used to model cold <br>storage?<br><br>A supermarket is a good example of cold storage. I have read that <br>EnergyPlus has numerous features to model supermarkets, including cold <br>racks and lots more. But I have also read that EnergyPlus is <br>text-input-only and a graphical user interface is advisable.<br><br>I have never used EnergyPlus. I have used EnergyPro and E-Quest.<br><br>Do any of you EnergyPlus gurus out there recommend EnergyPlus for <br>supermarkets and further do you recommend a graphical interface?<br><br><br>Your thoughts are appreciated.<br><br><br><br><br>-- <br>Robert Wichert P.Eng.
