[Equest-users] Heated Plenum

[Jeremy McClanathan]

A balcony is just a shading device in an energy model.  Depending on your situation, you may be able to model it as an overhang.  If not, you can create a bldg shade.  There are good directions for creating shading devices in chapter 8 of the quick ref guide.  You can open the quick ref guide from the help menu.

Hi Jeremy,

One more thing how would you model a balcony in
eQUEST. I am planning to extend a line attached
To the footprint and define it's construction in the detailed mode.

Thanks.

If I understand correctly, then I would say no.  If all you want to do is heat a plenum, then you should be able to just change the space and zone to conditioned, make sure the zone is assigned to the correct system, and apply a heating schedule.

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks, do you think I should model this as a separate shell from the garage floor.

I forgot to mention that you need to be in the detailed edit mode to do this.  In the wizard, set the flr-flr height 4’ higher than the flr-clg height and it will automatically create your plenum for you.  Once you are finished in the wizard, move to the detailed edit mode.  Then, set the zone type to conditioned and apply a heating schedule.

Also, in the wizard, if you set the HVAC system to “one per floor”, then the wizard will create only one plenum for each floor.

Hi there,








































I am modeling a building in eQUEST. This building has a garage on the ground floor and the




















ceiling above is concrete, there is a(4' high)plenum below this concrete ceiling. This plenum is heated (with condensing furnaces)in




















order to heat/temper the concrete ceiling which is the floor for the residents on the 2nd floor. (I know hydronic heating could be used)




















Any ideas how this can be modeled in eQUEST.








































Thanks.
