<p class=MsoNormal>Greetings All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m currently looking for any engineers that are
participating in the NYSERDA program but help from anyone that is able to is
welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Currently I am modeling a multifamily high rise project and
I keep stumbling on the same two issues with my baseline model for this
project. The first of which is related to lighting the second dealing with HVAC
systems and their controls or possibly their schedules or weather file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Lighting Issue – As per the guidelines I have set my
residential space as 2 w/sf and .7 for all other non residential common areas
following space by space method prescriptions for the remaining spaces in my
project. With these inputs my lighting consumption has jumped through the roof
(something to the rate of 300,000 kwh/yr) for an 88 unit building that is a
mere 9 stories tall that is way too much. I am wondering as to why this is. I
have currently normalized this by adjusting the multiplier but I don’t
know if this is a valid thing to do.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>HVAC issue – as soon as I began to model the HVAC
system to 90.1 specifications my simulation is giving me heating in the summer
months, I cannot figure out why. My requirement is to have a heating set point
of 72 and setback of 70 and for cooling 78 and 80 respectively. To add insult
to injury my cooling in the summer months is through the roof (in the range of
25,000 – 30,000 kWh) per MONTH alone. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I feel that the HVAC issue is related to weather data but I
don’t know what could be wrong with it as I have the correct file loaded
into eQuest. As for the lighting I think that it’s a schedule of
operation that is wrong but I am clueless as to how I would input the prescribed
schedule.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I thank you all for taking the time to read thru this and will
greatly appreciate any help that can be provided to me. Feel free to respond to
me directly or through the mailing list with any help. <o:p></o:p></p>
