While we're at it:<br><br>1. I'd really like a water-to-water heat pump that works off any type of heat pump loop!<br><br>2. Allow heat recovery for chillers greater than the hourly chilling capacity (i.e. allow heat recovery for the heat of compression).<br>
<br>3. Allow desiccant dehumidifiers to use outdoor air to dehumidify a space, without providing outdoor air as ventilation. (the DOE 2 help file shows this, but it doesn't actually operate this way).<br><br>4. Allow mandatory cooling and then re-heat of air in an air handler.<br>
<br>5. Eliminate duplicate underground constructions coming out of the wizard.<br><br>6. Eliminate duplicate infiltration schedules coming out of the wizard.<br><br>7. Include the ability to model vaulted ceilings in the wizard<br>
<br>8. Include the ability to model ERV's in the wizard.<br><br>9. Include the ability to model partially underground basements in the wizard.<br><br>10. I definitely second the call for a library of equipment. Climate Master has done this for their heat pump units. Maybe manufacturers can get on this???<br>
<br>11. When fans are set to cycle, or be variable speed, maintain minimum airflow required to provide ventilation air automatically.<br><br>The list goes on.<br><br>--<br>Karen<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 5:25 PM, Jeremy McClanathan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jmcclanathan@cdiengineers.com">jmcclanathan@cdiengineers.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

A few months ago, Eric Shadd sent requests for a wish list of improvements - I
gathered a bunch and I believe he was keeping track of them in a spreadsheet.<br>
<br>
Eric - any update on that? Perhaps we should send one more request for
improvements and then send it off to the eQUEST development team?<br>
<br>
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.<br>
