<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>The forum here is about the best you can get to asking for specific examples. The old DOE-2.1E used to have Sample Runs, but I am unaware that eQuest has carried on the tradition.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>The eQuest manuals generally describe how to do certain keywords for certain systems. The eQuest Vol. 3 (Tpoics) reviews the various SYSTEM types you can use, and applicable keywords allowed, including templates of .INP input screens.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>I just started using eQUEST. And, I am having difficulty in finding<BR>examples of implementing special cases or general cases for that matter.<BR>For example, I would like to see an example of spot cooling inside a larger,<BR>hot room? Is there a manual or reference available that shows how to do<BR>this and other case specific applications?<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>David Knifton, P.E.<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Equest-users mailing list<BR><A href="http://lists.onebuilding.org/listinfo.cgi/equest-users-onebuilding.org">http://lists.onebuilding.org/listinfo.cgi/equest-users-onebuilding.org</A><BR>To unsubscribe from this mailing list send a blank message to EQUEST-USERS-UNSUBSCRIBE@ONEBUILDING.ORG<BR><BR></FONT></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
