color:#1F497D'>Performing a 90.1 Baseline/Proposed comparison with eQuest will
require building two models. There are many way to skin the cat, but common
practice is to build up either your baseline or proposed model, save a copy right
before transitioning to detailed mode from the wizards, finish the model in
detailed, then use the wizard-level and final models as references to build the
second model.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to be easier than the other way around, having tried both, but opinions
differ. You may want your 90.1 baseline model created first depending on
where your modeling starts in relation to the design process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I think the process outlined by Paul is fine if you are doing
compliance modeling or "after the fact" modeling. A lot of the
time when I start a model there is no proposed building - the model is used as
a tool to define the proposed building. I find its better to start out with the
90.1 model and then run it in the detailed interface mode. John is right about
the schedules - most often those are the first thing to go and are substituted
with my own. I've attached a little XL tool that I created that I like to use
for this - it allows you to push and pull the slider bars till you get your
required schedule (you have to enable macros in the worksheet). It then creates
a text string that you can copy and paste into your inp file to create a day
schedule. Feel free to use it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Back to the workflow thing - I find that if you start out with a
90.1 building - it allows you to run this as a baseline and make design
decisions to improve on it by looking at the base. This way you still have all
your wizard values for the base building (although the inp file for 90.1
construction posted to this list earlier makes that superfluous too). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Before you make two Detailed Edit Models (one baseline, one
proposed), make sure you have all the correct schedules and ancillary loads the
same in ONE Detailed Edit model. You have quite rudimentary schedules in the
Wizards (probably developed on Mars), so you need to insure any additional
schedules (or schedule changes) and load additions are made.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>THEN make your two Detailed Edit models.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Hello
Omar,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>These
are the steps I suggest you follow to complete the proposed building and the
baseline building models most efficiently:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>1)
Model the proposed building first. Do everything you can in wizard. Keep a copy
of the model at this stage so that you can easily go back to this state of your
model if necessary.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>2)
Save two new copies of your model- one for the proposed model to be
completed in the detailed editor and one for the baseline model.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>3)
Complete the proposed model in detail editor</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>4)
Go back to the model you saved in step 2 of this process as the
baseline model and change your selections in the wizard to comply with ASHRAE
90.1. This is quicker and easier than changing all the values manually.Keep a
copy of the model at this stage so that you can easily go back to this state of
your model if necessary.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>5)
Save a new copy of the baseline model and complete it in the detailed
editor. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This
process allows you to do everything you can in the wizard for both the baseline
and proposed building models. It also helps to ensure that schedules and other
aspects shared by the two buildings are modeled the same as required by ASHRAE
90.1. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I
hope this helps,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
