Hello,<br><br>Has anyone experienced odd results with calibrating a model to monthly utility using real weather for a particular year, if that year happens to be very extreme and it is a heating dominant climate?<br><br>I am seeing that eQUEST greatly over predicts energy consumption for space heating when compared to the utility bills. Has anyone else ever experienced something like this?<br>
<br>Running TMY in the model shows a better agreement but ASHRAE Guideline 14 calls for actual weather from the same year as the utility.<br><br>Any input on this would be greatly appreciated!!<br><br>Thank You,<br>Niko <br>
