Nice! Hopefully, hot gas reheat will make the list with cold climate heat pump curves. Any timeframe to see an updated release?

Hi Grant,

eQUEST, along with several other commonly used building energy modeling tools, received DOE funding through the two rounds of the Resilient and Efficient Code Implementation (RECI) initiative (RECI1<https://www.energy.gov/eere/buildings/articles/meet-btos-newest-projects-support-more-resilient-and-efficient-building>, RECI2<https://www.energy.gov/eere/buildings/articles/meet-btos-2024-cohort-projects-support-more-resilient-and-efficient>). The funded scope includes streamlining and automating 90.1 Appendix G modeling and model reviews and a few other upgrades. So I am glad that modeling pros like Bill keep eQUEST wish lists :-).

Thanks,

Maria

Hi Brian,

I get the same error and I don’t know how to fix it. I’ll add it to my wish list of eQUEST improvements and fixes.

Thanks,

Subject: [Equest-users] HVAC summary cooling tower error in DOE-2.3

External Email: Treat links and attachments with caution.
When you add the line:

   StoreResults_HVAC_Summary=1

… to equest.ini, eQUEST generates a helpful HVAC summary .csv.   However, in 2.3, the reporting format of the PS-H changed for cooling towers resulting in this error when there is a cooling tower in the model:

Has anyone found a fix for this error?  (It slows parametric runs which is problematic.)

Brian
