[Equest-users] Question (Weather data)

[Fred Betz]

That will only adjust the air-side systems in eQUEST.

Any condenser fans you have in the plant systems, cooling tower for example, do not take altitude into account that I can tell. You’d have to get a selection from the manufacturer to tell you the difference to account for it properly.

Hossein,
If you want the software to adjust airflows based on altitude, you can enter it in Project & Site -> Site Data -> ALTITUDE.
There is a new keyword in eQUEST 3.65 running in DOE-2.3 mode – SPECIFY-AIRFLOWS, which gives you control over whether or not the program adjusts airflows based on ALTITUDE.
Regards,
~Bill

Hi, I am a new user of eQuest software.
I have a problem loading weather information in the wizard. I downloaded a weather 'epw' file (from energy plus website) and I converted it into a 'bin' file (with eQ_WthProc Software). Please note: I should add my city is loacted 1500 m above the sea level).

When I load the weather file in the software and save the output details, it does not recognize the sea level and considers it as 0. This can influence the capacity of the fan and its energy consumption. I wonder if you could help me with this.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Hossein Sharafi
