font-family:Arial'>I am having a problem with my baseline model of all things.
I have a one story building served by multiple PSZ-AC utilizing a natural gas
furnace for heating located in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Charleston</st1:City>,
<st1:State w:st="on">SC.</st1:State></st1:place> I have allowed eQuest to size
the gas furnace for %125 of the heating load however the energy use is
extremely high and I don’t think it is appropriate to take credit for it.
I have attached a portion of the BEPS report from both the baseline and design
buildings as well as the baseline model. The only major changes to the model that
would affect heating (I think) are R-15 for the walls, R-30 for the roof and PPG’s
SB 70XL glass. If anyone could offer insight as to why my heating load is so
high and how to reduce it I would appreciate it. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
