[Equest-users] EER

[Nick Caton]

James,

Kelsey's right - in detailed mode such efficiency measures entered in
wizard mode get split into fan energy (kW/CFM) and heating (EIR/HIR) &
cooling (EIR) efficiencies.  If entering values for heating/cooling
efficiency - pay mind to whether fan energy is included in your EER
figures (it usually is), and follow Kelsey's advice to zero out the fan
energy if so.  

 

If you're not in detailed yet, heating and cooling efficiencies are
handled most simply using Wizard Screen 3 of ##:

You assign the cooling EIR (inverse of COP) under system>cooling>unitary
power. Technically, you should define the efficiency of the compressor
separately from the fan power, otherwise eQUEST will double-count the
fan energy. If you use an overall system EER, then you should set the
fan power (kW/cfm) to zero.

 

Furnace efficiency (heat input ratio) is specified under
system>heating>unitary power.

Where in eQuest can you assign an EER of a DX coil or the Efficiency of
a furnace?
