did load calcs in both eQuest and Trace for a small addition on a local
government office building (5,000 SF) to try to answer this question for
myself. For that size there was no difference between the two and since I
was utilizing eQuest for the energy modeling for LEED then I decided to drop
the Trace version to keep myself focused on such a small, quick project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Just wondering… Has anyone based their HVAC design on
eQuest results? Typically we us Trane Trace for load calcs and do our energy
models in eQuest. However, this questions was brought up in our office. I just
wanted to see what everyone thought of this matter.<o:p></o:p></p>
