<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello Everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am trying to finalize a building model for a LEED
submission but am having difficulty getting the BEPS report "percent of hours
any system zone outside of throttling range" to match the SS-R reports "zone
under heated" and "zone under cooled" hours. </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Arial>This was a complaint from the LEED reviewer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The building has three systems and all spaces
are conditioned. The BEPS report lists hours outside of throttling
range at 2% (175hrs), but the SS-R report lists under heated and cooled hours
of 280 (3.2%). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I consider myself fairly familiar with equest but
am unable to get these two numbers to match. Has anyone run into this
problem in the past or have any ideas of where I should be focusing my
attention?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Many Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
