If you look at your SS-O report, it will show you when your spaces are over or under-heating. I have found that often I am over or under cooling during startup periods, i.e. my equipment is sized appropriately for loads at constant indoor temperatures, but if I'm trying to heat the building 5 degrees in 1 hour, I may have some problems.<br>
<br>Also, in packaged systems, I have found that some of the spaces without a thermostat often have unmet load hours. I believe this is due to the fact that eQuest doesn't always accurately model airflow through each zone. Usually, when I model multiple rooms served by a single system (heat pump, for example), I model the rooms as one zone together. I feel that this is appropriate as long as the spaces have similar use type, exposure and schedules.<br>
<br>One last thing--if you have baseboards and you added them after the wizard, you will need to specify the thermostat type to "Thermostatic" and give the baseboards a capacity, otherwise, the spaces will get no heat.<br>
