<p class=MsoNormal>Hello, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am using Equest to compare a couple of different systems
for energy usage for a building that will be heating only. One of the systems
is a water source heat pump connected to a boiler and a cooling tower. My question
is what is the correct method of changing setpoints to eliminate the cooling
load in the building? I have done it a couple of ways and get different results
depending on what route it take. For example, changing the annual/week/day
schedules to a high cooling setpoint, say 120°F does not eliminate the cooling
load completely and actually raises the heating load for the building. Any
ideas?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I am a beginner at using this program and just found this
forum. Any help/recommendations would be much appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p>
