[Equest-users] Compliance rule set for Oregon

[Paul Buchheit]

Hello All,

Since Carol brought up the subject of improving energy modeling I would like to ask the following question.
What is the most appropriate and effective avenue to make suggestions for improvements to eQUEST and addressing potential problems?
One improvement I would like to see made to eQUEST is to add the pan function.


Thanks,

Paul

  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

      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.

            See attachment

            Thanks,

            Curt
