Hi Scott,<br><br>I would look through the load part of your model for the answer. For instance I notice that many of you spaces have no equipment loads, including your mechanical room (!?!). Put a small w/sf in each space. Your occupancy loads are also small compared to what other building types have. Also, look at your schedules to see if you agree with the default. After that if you are still having a problem, let us know.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Folks,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am having issues with VAV systems in eQuest. This is
a reoccurring problem for me. I am getting large amounts of heating
during the summer. I suspect this is due to reheat at the VAV
terminals. I’ve tried everything I can think of to eliminate
this. I have lowered my minimum VAV flow rates, lowered my summer heating
setpoint temp to 55, locked out my boilers based on higher outside air
temps. All these changes eliminated my summer heating. But they also shot
my unmet heating hours way up. Does anyone have any other suggestions on
how to correct this?</p>
