I exported the basic HVAC load calculation from Elite software to equest program, but ended with several error messages. After manually inputting all the parameters, I managed to get a baseline report, which gives erroneous energy values vs utility cost values. The program does not input much of the load values to arrive at a reasonable HVAC energy requirement. The program terminates if I add chilled and hot water options to baseline electric option.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Is there any training offered for this software?
