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>

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><o:p></o:p></p>
