<DIV><BR></DIV>All,<BR><BR>Lynn Bellenger will soon be the first female
president of ASHRAE..ASHRAE is 117 years young. Lynn's goal is to improve
energy modeling. She is a PE and a BEMP and a LEED AP. She has even more
letters after her name but you will have to ask her. She deserves every one of
them. Lynn rocks. If I was a betting woman, I would bet on Lynn to try to get
this done. You will see I have attempted to cc her on this. I have also bcc'd
her to make sure she gets the message.<BR><BR>A good night to all and to all a

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: [Equest-users]
Compliance rule set for Oregon</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Correction on Carol's response -<BR>There is no
"compliance analysis" ruleset for either Oregon or 90.1-2004. What
Carol was referring to in eQUEST v3.63 (and later) is a
jurisdiction-based defaulting mechanism within the building creation
wizard(s) that includes Oregon-specific selections and defaults (which
are based on the Oregon energy code).<BR><BR>Compliance Analysis is
quite a different feature. The CA Title-24 compliance analysis
feature enables users to press the compliance analysis button in the
interface (the button Curt pressed which resulted in the message he
circulated) to initiate a mechanism that performs a complete,
performance-based compliance analysis on the proposed building design
loaded into eQUEST.<BR>Two additional features are on the near horizon
with regards to compliance analysis in eQUEST -<BR>(1) a LEED baseline
generation ruleset which does not perform a complete LEED analysis but
does generate a LEED (90.1-2007 Appendix-G) baseline model based on a
user's proposed design. This is included in v3.64 which should be
made available in the coming weeks (pending CEC certification).<BR>(2)
compliance analysis based on Canada's MNECB ruleset - to be included in
a Canadian derivative of eQUEST, called CAN-QUEST. Not sure of the
exact release date for CAN-QUEST, but I can tell you that users are
training on it today @ the eSIM conference in Winnipeg.<BR><BR>There is
nothing in the works to my knowledge in terms of developing a compliance
analysis capability for Oregon.<BR><BR>- Scott<BR><BR><BR>Carol Gardner

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">Hi Curt.<BR><BR>The Oregon rule set is in VS
3.63. I helped Scott put it there. When you select your city in Oregon
you will see the Oregon rules. In your email you say 90.1-2004. The
Oregon compliance rule set is probably 2004 I just don't have time to
confirm for sure.<BR><BR>Good Luck, <BR>Carol <BR><BR><BR>
