<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">To Pasha’s concerns – I am personally very
comfortable with the import function placing things in the appropriate
locations, but that is based solely on my own personal investigation and
tinkering with the program when I first explored the possiblities. I’ve
yet to come across any issues, but until you do feel comfortable, you can
always import to a copy of your actual project to verify the result before
proceeding. Constructions end up listed with existing constructions,
annual/week/day schedules end up with their counterparts, and so forth as far
as I’ve been able to tell.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Order of systems where OA-FROM-SYSTEM is in play is an
independent and isolated quirk of the eQuest/DOE2 that you may have to deal with
even if you don’t use importing, and neither is it terribly difficult to
resolve once it’s brought to your attention (likely on trying to
simulate). I guess I’m just saying that this particular issue isn’t
a reason to avoid importing where it can save time… </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">That said, while I have imported portions of airside/waterside systems
into new projects for modification/use, I have *always* built DOAS systems “from
scratch” on a project-by-project basis, when I am modeling them distinct
from the systems served. Importing an independent DOAS and its components
would be a tricky endeavor, to be sure... I will likely consider importing
DOAS setups more viable and time-efficient if/when an independent DOAS system
type defined in future versions of eQuest/DOE2. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">To Richard – creating an .inp snippet of simpler items like
a schedules or constructions becomes time-efficient the very first time you
import into another project, I promise ;)! Once you have a smallish library
of re-useable constructions/schedules, you will be able to transform multiple 5-to-30
minute exercises into a matter of a few clicks. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">To be clear, that’s no reason to go cataloguing a library
of everything you “might” use in the future (that would quickly
become time-inefficient), but building your library from past projects as the
need arises is probably the balanced approach. For example… “Ah,
I wish I had a schedule to describe this photocell/timer-controlled exterior
lighting… Wait! I did that legwork for an earlier model! *open/copy/paste/save/import*
Life is good!” If your memory isn’t razor sharp, the other “ideal”
time to catalogue .inp snippets would be at the conclusion of a project, while
the model is fresh in your mind, to identify what items required
research/legwork you’d like to avoid in the future.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Generally – any development of DOE2/eQuest is welcome in
my eyes, great or small, and . I trust where both “difficult”
and “simple” developments are on the table, the priorities of addressing
fundamental limitations against user interface improvements will be weighed
appropriately against the resources that become available. I’m just
counting myself lucky to be modeling in an era that doesn’t require punch
cards and ticker tape =)!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If I had to bet on the developers including that function
soon, I would say you'd be luckier to bet that your grandkids will see that

family tree. ;)</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Therefore this is how it goes for most simulators who are
using eQuest today. If I had the chance to talk to Jeff & Steve
and guys I would be more inclined to ask them to quickly develop a way that VRV
systems and DOAS systems can be easily modeled in DOE-2.2/eQuest, RATHER than
ask them to spend thier valuable development time creating a library function
in eQuest.</p>
</div>
<div>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">That's also why some of the other basic functions in eQuest,
(i.e. it looks like a spreadsheet, but doesn't act like one...) are not further
developed or available either. There is more than enough work to be done
to just get the guts of DOE-2.2 working to support the industry for what it
needs, rather that improve upon the administrative tools in eQuest itself.</p>

suggested to create snippet text.inp files and then use the Import command
rather than copy paste within a text editor. So you might have a
library of inp files for things like constructions, schedules, hourly reports,
and utility rates (but you can reference saved ones within the wizard
too). Of course some things are order dependent like your OA source
system being ahead of your destination system so if you want a DOAS snippet,
you may need to manually place that within in the project .inp file.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="">At
this point in time....Yes, that is the best that we can do as far as I
know. I had a client once who told me they were using, or pulling
in thier own company's "library" data info, but I don't know if this
was in the formal sense of using the Libraries in eQuest or if they created a
seprate file that could be read by thier eQuest files to pull in the equipment
info they wanted.</p>

am generating schedules for my model and was hoping to save them so I do not
have to recreate them all the time. There is an option to “Save to
Library” but it is greyed out and cannot be selected. I looked in the
archive and the only emails on this topic say that you can only save the text
from the input file and copy this into new models. Is this the best we can do?</p>
