[Equest-users] Here is a real knuckle ball

[John Aulbach]

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??
