[Equest-users] Reproducing Unmet Hours

As far as I know you get an hourly temperature overview of your conflict zone in the SS-O report of the Simulation Output

Subject: [Equest-users] Reproducing Unmet Hours


It seems I spend a great deal of time with eQuest trying to reduce unmet hours in a model.  One thing I've tried is having eQuest produce an hourly report of a problem zone's temperature and T-stat setting, exporting the data to Excel and then searching it for patterns.  This approach has a few problems:



1.	I can barely figure out how to create the hourly report I'm looking for.  The reporting function (in the Detailed Data Edit mode, under Project & Site, Hourly Reports) isn't very intuitive, and I can't find any documentation on it.  Has anyone found the docs on this?  (I'm currently working through the relevant sections of the DOE 2-2 Dictionary, trying to cross reference between the inputs to eQuest and the BDL file generated from those inputs.  I'm just wondering if there's a short-cut somewhere.) 
2.	Once I get the data in Excel and do some filtering, I can never get the exported data to match the unmet hours found in report SS-R.  The Excel analysis seems to always overstate the unmet hours.  Has anyone had any luck reproducing the SS-R values?  Any ideas? 
3.	I'd like to hear other user's experience.  Do you find that resolving unmet hours is a significant part of your modeling time?
