 Thank you, Phil. I will play with this.

Hi John,
 
  
 
I haven’t done this, but it does look like eQUEST has this capability.
 
  
 
If you search the DOE2 dictionary (e.g., https://doe2.com/Download/DOE-22/DOE22Vol2-Dictionary_48r.pdf) for “superheat”, you should see it appear a few times, with relevant information appearing in the COOL-WASTE-HEAT keyword and related keywords:
 

 
Be sure to read through the related keywords, though, as it appears to have different capability depending on system type; e.g., see WASTE-HEAT-USE:
 
                
 
  
 
To access these keywords within eQUEST, see the “Cap Curves/Waste Ht” tab within the “Heating” tab of an air-side HVAC system:
 

 
  
 
Best,
 
  
 
Phil Jordan

And can it be used to preheat either domestic hot water or space heat?
 
  
 
Thanks in advance.
