[Equest-users] Hourly space temperature after cooling

Mon Mar 25 13:35:07 PDT 2019

Paul, others,

Being an old DOE-2 user, I would recommend getting the hourly reports for zone 
temperature, setpoint temperature,  and cooling load, and then aggregating these by hour 
of day and month, i.e., get 12 average hourly profiles by month, which would tell you 
what's going on. I don't know if there's an hourly report variable for unmet load, but it 
should be detectable as hours where the zone temperature exceeds the setpoint 
temperature.  I know how to set up hourly reports in DOE-2, but  don't know how can be 
done in eQUEST.
