<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I'm interested in using eQuest to analyze energy savings
from specific HVAC efficiency measures (such as DCV, efficient chillers, etc), but
without building a detailed each time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Ideally I'd just use eQuest defaults to simulate a building
of similar size to the one where the measure is proposed, but to figure out if
this is a safe approach I need to perform my analysis under a range of
assumptions. So I'd like simulate measures in a range of different
building models-- i.e. different sizes and types.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>These are exactly the sort of thing I could use EXCEPT that
they are written in EnergyPlus, rather than eQuest. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I gather there is not a tool to convert from EnergyPlus to
eQuest, so I'm wondering if anyone has converted these to eQuest or whether
there are any other sources of comparable models that someone would be willing
to share?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for your help.<o:p></o:p></p>
