[Equest-users] BDL Error Trouble Shooting

[Jill Moreland]

Good Afternoon All,

I am working on my first eQuest Energy Model and am quickly feeling
overwhelmed. Was able to build the shell in the wizard and assign shell
properties (excluding doors and windows as noted in tutorial to add in
detailed mode) and was successful with only 4 errors.

The problem is that when I started adding in the HVAC chilled water
components without zoning them it generated 34,000 errors. I then scrapped
that work and started over with one floor (which has 5 systems) and I
properly zoned it and it generated 51,000 errors.

This is a 6 story hospital that was added on over many years. At this point
my main question is what is best way to trouble shoot? It seems that once I
close the BDL Error Screen I do not have a way of going back in without
re-generating which takes 8-10 minutes to see the errors AND I don't see a
way to drill down on the errors to try to resolve. I am sure many of them
are inter-related but I dont even know where to start.

I am glad to have found this group because I have contacted eQuest with no
response and their Forum that I bought a 4 month subscription to is
basically worthless (no one responds). I know every one is slammed but any
and all help would be greatly appreciated as I think this is a field that I
may stay in for awhile.
