<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know of an ‘easy’ way to track all the building-level energy used by a particular zone in eQuest (including the proportion of fan, pump, heating, cooling, etc energy from common a system and/or plant). Right now attaching a
sub-meter to a zone is only giving me the usage of that zone’s loads (lighting, occupant load, gas appliances in the zone), but what I really want is to divvy up all end-uses amongst all the zones.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m trying to determine the utility cost of a specific zone and didn’t want to default to an area-weighted approach of dividing each energy end-use among all the zones.
