[Equest-users] eQuest expert needed

[Chris Toothaker]

Hello everyone,
We are seeking an experienced eQuest energy modeling expert to help analyze our 
current proposed and baseline eQuest models, fix any compliance errors, evaluate 
the project’s EA credit potential, and help with the submittal documentation 
through LEED Online.
Our project consists of a newly constructed 17-level condo tower above a 2-level 
parking garage located in the City of Monterrey, Mexico. The HVAC system for 
each of the living units consists of a mini-split heat pump system with 3 zones 
sharing an exterior condenser. The project was designed with sustainability in 
mind: exterior walls with substantial R value, consideration for orientation and 
window placement, as well as a partially vegetated roof, so we are hopeful that 
the project will meet the 10% energy improvement over the baseline case.
The building geometry, orientation, window placements, HVAC & U-value inputs 
have been already been modeled in eQuest to the best of our ability, but may 
need further improvement and adjustments to meet the requirements of the EAp2 
prerequisite. Other elements such as solar-powered exterior lighting, tankless 
water heaters, and proper system input schedules will need to be correctly 
addressed.  We will do our best to provide any missing data that may be 
encountered in the process.
If you are interested and believe you may be able to provide us with your 
services, please reply off-list to my email account below for more information 
and we will make the model available for you to inspect and if possible, 
determine a general hourly/ fixed rate and timeframe based on your initial 
thoughts and evaluation of our current eQuest model. Attached you will find 
several screenshots. Thank you for your attention and we hope to hear from you 
soon.
Sincerely,
Chris Toothaker, Assoc. AIA
