<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>hi all, <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>i have recently begun using equest and have had successfully
running small models.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>recently while modeling one of my projects, i had to add
another floor under the entire model.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>firstly i realise that if i go back from the detailed mode
to the wizard entries, i loose all my detailed inputs.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>secondly if i simulate this model, the results will be far
from realistic.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>can someone please help me with the process of adding an
extra floor under / over the complete model in the detailed mode, without
loosing information.<o:p></o:p></p>

reinstalling/updating eQuest and/or your operating system – it’s
prudent to also navigate to and keep a copy of any weather files downloaded and

and want to re-run a simulation down the road.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

should check which version of eQuest was used to create the project before
opening it with the wrong version: rightclick the .pd2 file and open with

eQuest project data directories to save or work from, so the location of the
files is not critical. In moving your projects/files around you
might get the occasional “where did that AutoCAD reference go”
warnings on opening the project – <br>
it’s totally safe to skip or remove that reference once you’re past
defining footprints/zones in the wizards.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Simon, so basically you're putting a heat exchanger between your return chilled
and hot water lines to reduce return water temperature by preheating hot water
before it reaches the boiler?<br>

Subject: [Equest-users] Induction Unit Error<br>
Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I'm running into an error with my setup of an induction unit in equest. For
some reason, I am showing cooling during Jan, Feb, Mar, Nov, and Dec for a
building near Rochester, NY. I have the baseline model setup too and I am
showing basically zero cooling during this months (baseline unit is PTAC units
b/c it's a residential building). Anyways, I have heat recovery on the OA for
my induction units. Does anyone have any ideas to where my error is? Any type
of help would be appreciated. Thanks!<br>
