[Equest-users] How to set thermostat to have 0 heating load

[Nicholas Caton]

For what it’s worth, I’m seeing no usage for the space heat end use whatsoever using the MEXICO91.BIN referenced in your project.  The green “Misc. Equipment” draw on FM1 is due to your kitchen process loads defined at that specific space – if you zero those loads out fuel consumption is completely gone:

As far as LEED goes however, I can’t answer with direct experience how reviewers typically handle facilities in idyllic climates that don’t require space heating.  That might be a good separate query with the lists here as I’m sure someone has crossed that hill, but a separate run and write-up to demonstrate no calls for heat are necessary might be in order before simply removing all heating thermostat schedules in the model… just a thought.

Hi John,

After removing the whole heating thermostat schedule, the program still shows space heat. Do you know if eQuest allow users to trace back the space heat & cool for each zone?

Thank you,

Jing

I believe if you remove the heating thermostat schedule, the program will show no heating.

Dear All,

I am modeling a baseline system 10 Heating and Ventilation. But actually I do not need heating but only ventilation. So I set the thermostat schedule and design temperature to 40F to avoid heating load. However, I still got space heat at the report. Have any of you run into this problem before?  How to solve it?

Thank you very much!
Jing
