<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m looking for someone with experience using the
Savings By Design or Title 24 compliance engines within eQuest. It is my
understanding that only version 3.6 has been approved by the CEC, so this is the
version that I have been attempting to use. Some of the models were initially
created in version 3.63b. When I try to open the models in the old version
using the .inp file all of the walls disappear. Does anyone know of a quick fix
for this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Also, regarding the compliance engine, many of the spaces
are served by FCUs. The compliance engine requires a system-level supply
airflow input (Design cfm), which is not an input option for this type of
system within eQuest. I have tried to specify the airflow at the zone level but
still get the error. Does anyone know a work-around for this? I am a rookie at
dealing with the compliance engine so would appreciate any additional tips
moving forward.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks a lot,<o:p></o:p></p>
