<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>To this latest question – you can go either way. Modeling
a separate zone for each VAV is more accurate and permits specifying varying
capacities/loads/scheduling within the spaces. I perceive this as a necessary
degree of accuracy for something like a LEED submittal. Calling it one zone
means you’re modeling one monster VAV which will approximate all 20 VAV’s
in combination, operating in sync. The capacities (heating/cooling/airflow)
will autosize large enough to handle all zones at once and you’d specify “representative”
efficiencies/scheduling/fan kw/cfm and so forth to roughly equate to a “typical”
unit. This level of accuracy is what I’d call normal/fine for modeling
to compare various HVAC systems to approximate relative changes to other
elements like LPD or setback scheduling. What level of accuracy you “need”
is entirely up to the modeler (and reviewer, if applicable).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Regarding Carol’s response earlier:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Carol is quite right and raises a point I forgot to mention –
the issues below are entirely “fixable” within detailed mode (as
with most things). I took an approach to outline “what went wrong”
in wizard mode however as it was apparent Travis had a clear goal and simply
missed something along the way, after seemingly doing everything else right. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I fully agree with Carol that these particular issues are just
as quick (if not quicker) to resolve in detailed mode. In my humble opinion
though, taking a few minutes to learn how to use the wizards correctly is worth
the extra effort as you won’t be making the same mistakes to fix in your
next models =). To be clear, there’s nothing in the wizards you can’t
do in detailed mode – the only compelling reason to “go back”
to wizards is if you (1) have nothing/little to lose (you haven’t done
much work in detailed mode) or (2) you feel the time saved making a change in
the wizards will outweigh the time lost re-doing the detailed mode work (like
when your zone map has completely changed up). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I prescribe to the following mantra: “Use the wizards to
their <u>fullest time-saving extent</u> prior to entering detailed mode.”
Another way to put is “do as much as you can that you can’t do
faster in detailed mode.” This is obviously a moving target that varies
project-by-project and with one’s experience level, but it’s what I
strive for and this philosophy illustrates that the question of when to get out
of the wizards never has a black and white answer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Some prefer to get out of wizards ASAP because they’re
very fast/comfortable with detailed edits, while others spend time wrestling
with the wizards far longer than they should to achieve things that are done more
quickly/easily in detailed mode. I was solidly in the latter camp when first
learning eQuest and feeling apprehensive about detailed mode, and I know others
have the same hurdle… but in time everyone strikes a personal balance and
preference – you really figure this stuff out with experience and trying
new things. I’m self-taught for the most part, but learning what is most
efficiently done before/after the wizards is an area of knowledge I would expect
to be covered in quality formal training at various levels, as this is the sort
of topic that otherwise requires “doing it wrong once” to really
learn.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I’ll be out of the office thru the rest of this week, but
Travis if you or anyone else is interested in how to accomplish the same edits
in detailed mode and can’t figure it out, simply ask! I’m sure
Carol and others would be willing to help as individual time allows ;). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>I’m
trying to set up a really simple 2 story building with 6 rooftop units. Two 60
tons supply cooling only to the core of the two floors and the 4 15 ton units
take care of the perimeter. One unit supplies air to two walls on the first
floor and another unit takes the other two walls on that floor. This is
repeated on the second floor. In the wizard I set it up exactly like this and
inputted the performance data for each unit and named each unit but when I go
to detailed mode to modify the schedules to reflect the controls of the system
it has broken everything out completely different than what I assumed I had set
up in the wizard. I’ve attached the .pd2 file, I don’t know if this
is sufficient for anyone to look at what I’ve done.<o:p></o:p></p>
