Phooey. forget the caps. That's what caused this to go prematurely. So, don't tune equest to hap. equest is not a program designed for sizing systems, yet. I used to use hap to inform me, ie provide info to input into equest. A better use of time is a careful review of your output: is it reasonable? On the other hand, depending on what you are using the model for, it may be correct to input the btuh values for cooling & heating from hap into equest. Is this a LEED project?<br>
<br>Give me a little more info based on the wandering remarks above, okay?<br><br>Regards,<br>Carol<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 12:19 PM, Carol Gardner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cmg750@gmail.com">cmg750@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span>We are working on a
high-rise office building which is all curtainwall, and has a high fenestration
percentage. We have calculated the air-side HVAC loads for our project via HAP,
and are comparing them to the "eQUEST System & Zone Air-Side Summary
Report" calculated design capacity values. The eQuest values appear to be
much higher, and a large part of this increase is in the "Window Glass+Frm Cond"
value displayed in the LS-B reports. Has any one compared the eQuest system
sizing values to HAP or another load calculation program and experienced similar
results? Should we spend the additional time trying to tweak the model so it
more closely matches the HAP calculated values, or simply move forward with
comparing the eQuest building to the baseline?</span></font></div></div>
