<DIV>We need the.INP file, not the -2.INP file. It also appears with that, you are running parametrics. We also then need the .PRD file as well.</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>I have assigned each zone it's own single zone system, but I still am coming<BR>up with about the same number of unmet hours.

Another question I have is why doesn't the percent<BR>of hours outside of the throttling range on the BEPS report match up with the<BR>number of unmet hours on the SS-R report? I have attached my project files<BR>if anyone has time to look at them.

This<BR>is supposed to replicate "System 3" in ASHRAE 90.1 appendix G. I have many<BR>unmet heating hours (including my system control zone). I have let eQuest<BR>auto size equipment capacities and and cfm. I have tried doing everything I<BR>can think of to reduce the number of unmet hours. My OA volumes are pretty<BR>small and shouldn't be affecting it. I expected possibly a few unmet hours<BR>in some of the zones, but not in my control zone, the corridor, and not to<BR>this magnitude. I get the following warning message seen below, I'm not<BR>sure what it means by "Baseboard-Rating"?
Any ideas on what this means or<BR>how I could reduce the number of unmet heating hours?<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>**WARNING********************************************************************<BR>** <BR> ZONE EL1 Food Storage Zn (G.S2) <BR> might have insufficient heating capability. <BR> Check that the SYSTEM or ZONE HEATING-CAPACITY plus this <BR> ZONEs BASEBOARD-RATING is adequate to maintain the ZONE <BR> specified DESIGN-HEAT-T for the calculated peak ZONE load <BR> (see LS-A or LS-B for the ZONE peak load.) <BR><BR><BR><BR>Thanks for your help, <BR><BR>Kyle Nisonger<BR>Mechanical Engineer, LEED(r) AP<BR>US Army Corps of
