<DIV>One thing I typically find is that values were not updated between the ASHRAE baseline and the proposed when something new is learned about the project, but an INP review should have caught that. Do you use global parameters for these W/sqft inputs? I also find that these are sometimes off or overwritten and that the pink global values looks so much like the red values that I miss a cell that's off when doing a side-by-side comparison of the spreadsheet views of each model.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lastly I would recommend copying all of the equipment schedules from the proposed INP file and pasting them over the baseline INP schedules, in case you accidentally modified something in there.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am trying to determine the cause of a discrepancy between “Misc Equip” in a baseline and proposed model.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’ve already done a text file comparison on the .INP files, but have not yet identified the cause.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Could someone please list any other various energy uses that could be included in this category (other than the equipment/plug loads)?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>So far I’ve determined that process loads on the Chilled water loop are reported under Misc. Equip. – any other ideas of items to look for?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks very much for any suggestions.<o:p></o:p></P>
