<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Has anyone ever tried to use eQuest for sizing equipment? I
know about the design day input, but it only allows for a single design day,
which doesn’t necessarily cover all of the bases for solar angles. Based
on the standard TMY2 weather files, I know that shouldn’t be done, but
has anyone ever created some design day weather files? I’m
especially suspicious of the equipment sizing due to the sunlight clarity
factors. It would save a lot of time if eQuest could do design day and
simulation calculations that could be trusted, but I’m not sure if there
is a time effective way to do it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
