[Equest-users] Compliance rule set for Oregon

[Paul Buchheit]

Hello Scott,

Thanks for the help on this question. 
Is there anything available now or in the works for ASHRAE 90.1-2004 or 2007 compliance analysis?

Thanks again,

Paul

  Correction on Carol's response -
  There is no "compliance analysis" ruleset for either Oregon or 90.1-2004.  What Carol was referring to in eQUEST v3.63 (and later) is a jurisdiction-based defaulting mechanism within the building creation wizard(s) that includes Oregon-specific selections and defaults (which are based on the Oregon energy code).

  Compliance Analysis is quite a different feature.  The CA Title-24 compliance analysis feature enables users to press the compliance analysis button in the interface (the button Curt pressed which resulted in the message he circulated) to initiate a mechanism that performs a complete, performance-based compliance analysis on the proposed building design loaded into eQUEST.
  Two additional features are on the near horizon with regards to compliance analysis in eQUEST -
  (1) a LEED baseline generation ruleset which does not perform a complete LEED analysis but does generate a LEED (90.1-2007 Appendix-G) baseline model based on a user's proposed design.  This is included in v3.64 which should be made available in the coming weeks (pending CEC certification).
  (2) compliance analysis based on Canada's MNECB ruleset - to be included in a Canadian derivative of eQUEST, called CAN-QUEST.  Not sure of the exact release date for CAN-QUEST, but I can tell you that users are training on it today @ the eSIM conference in Winnipeg.

  There is nothing in the works to my knowledge in terms of developing a compliance analysis capability for Oregon.

    Hi Curt.

    The Oregon rule set is in VS 3.63. I helped Scott put it there. When you select your city in Oregon you will see the Oregon rules. In your email you say 90.1-2004. The Oregon compliance rule set is probably 2004 I just don't have time to confirm for sure.

    Good Luck, 
    Carol

      Need help.
      Is there an ASHRAE 90.1-2004 rule set file that can be downloaded and used
      for compliance
      analysis.
