<P class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’m somewhat new to eQuest and still trying to get my brain
around it. One big issue I am having is my code building is actually more
energy efficient then my design building. I did a test case where I
quickly modeled a generic building and toggled the HVAC system types to see what
effects the systems have on the building. I modeled the code building as a
Packages single zone with furnace (ASHRAE 90.1 system 3, PSZ-AC) and my design
building as a Packaged VAV with HW reheat (ASHRAE 90.1 system 5, Packaged VAV
w/reheat). My code building is getter considerable better performance than
the design building. Am I modeling the code building incorrectly?
Any help would be appreciated. <o:p></o:p></P>
