<P class=MsoNormal>eQUEST users,</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>My company is beginning the energy modeling of an educational campus that involves many separate buildings. Before we tackle this, we are trying to figure out the best way to model 3 separate (footprint) buildings that have interconnected cooling and heating systems. Can you create one eQUEST model for this? Any general suggestions on beginning this model.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance.</P>
