[Equest-users] Here is a real knuckle ball

[John Aulbach]

 Sorry, folks. I solved my problem. It is called, looking at the correct column for heating.
Thank you anyway. Can you tell I have a deadline ??

  No problem , Brian. No State secrets involved. By golly, I must have been adding the wrong columns !! You are indeed correct. My Client think there should be an additional 125,000 kWh in heating. Even removing lighting, I only gain 61,000 kWh.
The lighting schedules are from the eQuest multi family auto set up. Blame Mr. Hirsch.
I have about 50 CFM/person OSA. Wonder if that shuts off at any time.

 Sorry John ... I thought I was replying to you, not the list.On Jun 19, 2025, at 6:27 p.m., John Aulbach <jra_sac at yahoo.com> wrote:
I attach two versions of a Multi family project I am working on in Virginia, plus the weather I used. DETAIL-1 is the way I ran it was normal, an individual heat pump in hundreds of zones. My Client feels the space heating load is not enough and feels eQuest is overcompensating for the heat emitted by LEDs vs the fluorescent light actually represented.
So I thought, what if I removed the lighting COMPLETELY, to see how much space heating would go up.
But, golly, space heating went DOWN (see attached BEPS from each model) !!
What physics course did I miss to explain THIS one??
