<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I’ve
seen this type of error (i.e. exploding energy, demand, and/or dollars) when I
enter the capacity of a component thinking that “MBtu” means 1000’s
of Btus, not millions as is does in eQuest terminology. Maybe a similar typo
in your situation? John A. responded to an email yesterday on that
topic. I vaguely remember a discussion on eQuest terminology (k = 1000’s,
M = millions) and that it follows either a Greek or Roman system, while the
typical “MBH” that is on every mechanical schedule is based on the
other system. Good luck, <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I am running a chilled water system in the detailed mode and
everything seemed to be going well when I closed up last night. This
morning I come in, make some modifications to a few internal loads, and
re-calculate. Now the pumps/aux is off the chart on the monthly power
consumption (12000000000000000000000 to be exact), and I cant seem to figure
out the issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have tried everything I can think of, setting all the pump
setting to default, etc…but nothing seems to be working. Any ideas?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
