[Equest-users] eQuest T-24 Compliance with DOE 2.3

[Paul Riemer]

And I believe projects permitting after January 1 are subject to the 2019 Standards. The only currently available 2019 Non-Residential package that I have found is http://bees.archenergy.com/software2019.html .  If others know better, please share.

Sorry to say that eQUEST is not currently a certified program for Title 24 compliance. You will need to use one of the programs listed on this page: https://ww2.energy.ca.gov/title24/2016standards/2016_computer_prog_list.html<https://ww2.energy.ca.gov/title24/2016standards/2016_computer_prog_list.html>.

I'm not aware of a way to convert your eQUEST file for use in one of the certified programs, but perhaps others know of a way you can save some time.

Regards,
Erik

Hello all,

This is my first project dealing with a building in California.  This is a complete office renovation that needs to be compliant with title 24.  I started the project in version 3.65 build 7175 with DOE 2.3.  I have a good portion of the building complete in detailed mode.  The model freezes and closes every time I go to the project data tab in project properties and click CEC Title 24, August 2009 V1 from the dropdown of energy code compliance.  Is there a way to run the compliance in DOE 2.3?  I made a quick building in version DOE 2.2 to check and it worked fine.  Do I need to convert the existing model to 2.2 to work?  If so, how?  I tried copying and pasting the INP file of 2.3 to 2.2 and it crashes too.

Is there an easy way around this or do I need to start from scratch? I already have about 40 hours into this model so I’m trying not to resort to this, but I keep running into road blocks with every attempt.

Also, I just tried to run the simulation and it took about four hours to get to 98% and then froze the computer.  The file size is 61.7 gig….  The building isn’t very large so I have no clue how the file got so large.

Sorry for sending this a third time, but I’ve not got an answer.  Is there another forum and/or website that I could post this question on that would be more appropriate?


Thanks in advance,

Tom
