<p>hi all,<br> <br>i have simulated a floor plate of the entire model in equest. <br>the results show me values for the following, <br>1. space cooling<br>2. ventilation fans<br>3. miscellaneous equipments<br>4. Domestic hot water<br>
5. Area lights<br>6. Exterior usage. <br> <br>my questions are as follows, <br> <br>1. i cannot understand the difference between the area lights and exterior usage. <br> <br>i remember having put in the LPD equal to 0.7 w/sqft in the wizard entry. i have done nothing to change this value through the detailed input. <br>
<br>2. i do not have a clear understanding of what miscellaneous equipements indicate. i remember having put in the EPD in the wizard entry as 0.5 W/sqft. i have not changed this too in the detailed input. <br> <br>i have also noticed that the figures for DHW, Miscellaneous equipments, area lighting and the exterior usage remain same through out my baseline runs. is this correct? <br>
<br>please elaborate</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Hi folks<br> <br>I am working on a two story office building, where the layout of the ground is not same like the layout of the first floor and accordingly the HVAC zoning varies from ground to first floor.<br>
<br>In the schematic wizard, I am facing a problem of defining different zoning for each floor, as the program copies the zones of the ground to the first and does not allow for editing the first floor zoning.<br> <br>I managed to define different zones in the detailed design, by editing the copied zones in the first floor thru changing the vortices of each zone. This method took a considerable amount of time and was pretty confusing.<br>
<br>I was wondering first, if there is a way to define different zoning in the first and ground floor in the schematic wizard and second, if there is an easier way to change the zoning in the first floor during the detailed design.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">Your baseline can “neglect” the balconies if you are considering them fixed shading devices (I would if they aren’t enclosed spaces)– this isn’t uncommon for building projections in hotels/apartments and the like.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">To both inquiries – how you’re to distribute baseline model windows when your WWR is >40% is worded differently depending on whether you’re under 90.1-2004 or 2007. Whether a space is conditioned or occupied has no bearing on how you should distribute fenestrations.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">Assuming you are under 40% gross WWR, simply use the same window distribution on your baseline as is used in the proposed model (i.e. don’t try to re-locate the windows). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">If your gross WWR is >40%, the options you have available to you depend on how Appendix Table G.3.1.5.c. is worded. 2007 tells you to use the same proportions on each orientation as the proposed, and 2004 tells you to use uniform bands distributed equally on all faces. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">If you were so inclined, you could define uniform bands representing the same per-orientation proportions under 2007, but to me that seems a laborious route that’s potentially disadvantageous to your performance rating.

<p class="MsoNormal">I am in the process of modelling a multi story building using eQUEST. I would like to get your opinion on the followings.</p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. The building has extended open balconies in each floor where this space can be used by occupants. Can I consider distributing windows for the base case as indicated in Appendix G, neglecting balconies?</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. The building also has a recessed unconditioned occupying zone in one of the intermidiate floors. How should one consider this space in distributing windows for the base case. How should the windows spread on the exterior surface? exclude recesses zone and place them on the exterior wall or spread continously as other zones including the recessed zone</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">There’s a few opinions on “best” approach… every case is unique, but here’s general my take:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>

<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"><span>-<span style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </span></span></span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">If the WWR > 40%, divide the two to figure a window area “correction factor:” <u>40%/60% = .6667</u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">If you’re building your baseline from the wizards on up, you could also achieve uniform bands on each face totaling 40% net by playing with the inputs in the right shell screens. This was once a prescribed approach that was removed from Appendix G’s wording in 90.1-2007, but it remains a viable approach as well. The potential disadvantage to this approach is you’re changing the individual WWR for each individual space (perhaps adding windows where there were none) – this may result in less of an “apples to apples” comparison between the models, which may help/hurt your relative performance.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">Cautionary note I throw out to those finding very large WWR’s: opaque spandrel glass constructions are not “vertical fenestrations” per the definitions in 90.1.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">If it's a newer version (think this was added in 3.63), then you can use the photocell override keyword (excerpt from the doe2 manual below).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">If you're using an older version, you're stuck creating more complicated schedules. In the past, I've accomplished this by creating a fraction schedule for each month with the average sunrise/sunset times.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">Richard’s question suggests he may not be in detailed mode yet. You will need to wrap up Wizard mode (SD/DD) if you haven’t already – do enter the installed kW for your exterior lighting system(s).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">That load (kW) will show up as a direct exterior load on your electrical meter (under ‘utility and economics’ tab) once in detailed mode. You assign a schedule there, and can break your exterior load into multiple loads if you have different controls /scheduling to model (i.e. perimeter lighting turns off at midnight, other lighting is all night, garage lighting is 24/7, etc..).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">Attached is a mailing list discussion where I basically shared a series of schedules that anyone can use (in eQuest versions 3.63 and onwards, as Steven says!). If you paste those schedules into an .inp file that you keep handy, you can simply import them into your current and future projects, then assign those schedules via dropdown selection box at your meter. Pretty simple ;). </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">PS: the DOE2 manual entry copied below is a little misleading – if you set it up as an ON/OFF schedule as suggested, you won’t be able to select that schedule for a load assigned to a meter… the workaround is to use type MULTIPLIER per the attached, and PHOTOCELL-CTRL will behave properly ;).</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">If it's a newer version (think this was added in 3.63), then you can use the photocell override keyword (excerpt from the doe2 manual below).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">If you're using an older version, you're stuck creating more complicated schedules. In the past, I've accomplished this by creating a fraction schedule for each month with the average sunrise/sunset times.</span></p>

<h5>PHOTOCELL-CTRL</h5>
<p>Accepts a code-word specifying whether the hourly value in the referenced DAY-SCHEDULE can be overridden either ON (value = 1.0) or OFF ( value = 0.0) according to whether it is day or night.</p>
<p>DAY-OFF Forces the hourly schedule value to be 0.0 whenever the sun is up.</p>
<p>DAY-ON Forces the hourly schedule value to be 1.0 whenever the sun is up.</p>
<p>NIGHT-OFF Forces the hourly schedule value to be 0.0 whenver the sun is down.</p>
<p>NIGHT-ON Forces the hourly schedule value to be 1.0 whenever the sun is down.</p>
