Per ASHRAE 90.1-2004, even though the building has no heat, I am supposed to model both the Baseline and the Proposed model with electric heat (with all of the same properties between the two models). My Baseline system is a Packaged, Constant Volume, DX system. I find that the Baseline building is using a ton of electric heat for reheat because the system is constant volume and it seems to be overcooling without the reheat. I was able to correct this in my Proposed model by reducing the Minimum Flow Ratio, but since my Baseline building is
constant volume I can't reduce the minimum flow ratio to fix the reheat problem.<br><br>Does anyone have any suggestions on reducing this reheating? Because the building doesn't even have any heat, I artificially inflated the heat in the Proposed to make the same as the Baseline because I was getting an imaginary benefit otherwise.

Having hours<br>outside the throttling range is not a by product of your system selection<br>but rather indicates that you have some input which is not allowing adequate<br>heating, cooling and ventilation air to be supplied to your zones. To solve<br>this problem I suggest that you very methodically go through your HVAC input<br>screens and double check the validity of the inputs, especially defaults, to<br>be sure that they are what you want.<br><br>It is likely that by now, since you have been switching back and forth<br>between systems, trying to get them to work, you have made a number of<br>changes and maybe not in the best way. If you saved an earlier
version of<br>your 2 pipe system with the crossover strategy you might want to go back to<br>it and start there.<br><br>Carol<br><br>On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 4:14 PM, Ana N. <<a ymailto="mailto:ananeddav@hotmail.com" href="mailto:ananeddav@hotmail.com">ananeddav@hotmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br>> Dear e-quest users,<br>><br>><br>><br>> Has anyone had success modeling 2-pipe fan coils with electric shoulder?<br>><br>><br>><br>> The system operates using the following schedule:<br>><br>> - Fan coils provide cooling March through December<br>><br>> - Fan coils provide heating December through March<br>><br>> - Supplemental electric heaters will provide heating during<br>> October, November, April and May when required.<br>><br>><br>><br>> I was able to model 2-pipe fan coils by connecting 4 pipe fan coil

As I could not figure out how to model supplemental electric heat<br>> I switched back to 4-pipe fan coils and assigned availability schedules to<br>> heating and cooling. With this configuration, I tried to use electric<br>> baseboards and baseboard schedules based on outside temperature, but my<br>> unmet hours went up, offcourse this time in cooling. I tried changing<br>> capacities of baseboards and the baseboard reset schedule, all without any<br>> success. The only idea that I could think off is to manually calculate heat<br>> load and electricity consumption for spring-fall months. This is a huge<br>> building with almost hundred of FCs, and I am still hoping there is some<br>> better solution.<br>><br>><br>><br>> Any
thoughts?<br>><br>><br>><br>> All ideas are greatly appreciated.<br>><br>><br>><br>> Ana<br>><br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Equest-users mailing list<br>> <a href="http://lists.onebuilding.org/listinfo.cgi/equest-users-onebuilding.org" target="_blank">http://lists.onebuilding.org/listinfo.cgi/equest-users-onebuilding.org</a><br>> To unsubscribe from this mailing list send a blank message to<br>> <a ymailto="mailto:EQUEST-USERS-UNSUBSCRIBE@ONEBUILDING.ORG" href="mailto:EQUEST-USERS-UNSUBSCRIBE@ONEBUILDING.ORG">EQUEST-USERS-UNSUBSCRIBE@ONEBUILDING.ORG</a><br>><br>><br><br><br>-- <br>Carol Gardner PE<br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br><span>URL: <<a target="_blank"

Numerous changes are required for LEED (and I'd rather not do them in DOE2 if possible)<br><br>I re-imported the model in to eQUEST and I keep getting an error "48 Bad Building Components Exist" and then the model will not run.<br><br>I noticed a thread saying that these components should be highlighted in the *.BDL text file, however, I don't seem to be able to find them.<br><br>How (specifically) will I be able to fix these errors? Can it be done from eQUEST or must it be done from the text file? What should I be looking for?<br><br>[Lastly, has anyone had issues when re-importing a model back into eQUEST?]<br><br>Thanks in
