[Equest-users] Large Auxiliary Energy Use

[Dana Troy]

In eQUEST, I have a chilled water VAV system with no heating and an
economizer.

 

When I set the economizer limits to 70-F high and 55-F low, the energy
use is as expected. The chiller operates more hours, etc.

 

When I eliminate the low limit, the chiller energy use goes way down as
expected, however, an extremely large auxiliary energy use shows up on
the BEPS and BEPU report. It is not the pumps, because I checked the
energy use of the pumps in the PS-C report.

 

When looking through the output report I can't find anything that is
showing where that energy use is coming from.

 

Has anyone ever encountered this before that could provide some
enlightenment?

 

Thanks,

Dana
