[Equest-users] Compliance rule set for Oregon

[Eurek, John S NWO]

I would prefer Lynn work to ban/destroy/do-away-with energy modeling.

Any chance this voo-doo engineering will go away any time soon?  It is only
statistical analysis with no meaningful/useful results for anyone.

As a community I think we are going in the wrong direction for the right
goals.

All,

Lynn Bellenger will soon be the first female president of ASHRAE..ASHRAE is
117 years young. Lynn's goal is to improve energy modeling. She is a PE and a
BEMP and a LEED AP. She has even more letters after her name but you will
have to ask her. She deserves every one of them. Lynn rocks. If I was a
betting woman, I would bet on Lynn to try to get this done. You will see I
have attempted to cc her on this. I have also bcc'd her to make sure she gets
the message.

A good night to all and to all a good night!

Carol

			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
