After running a few sample simulations of a very basic building I noticed the following:<o:p></o:p></p><ul type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1'>My fully air conditioned building with a 30% WWR returned a total consumption 1545 units of energy and my lighting was 149 units. Then I removed all windows making the WWR 0%, my total total consumption went down to 1520 units but area lighting was still 149 units. How does eQuest account for daylighting? If my building has no windows or skylights then the lights have to function overtime, so how is my area lighting consumption still the same? The gains that I make in the cooling; should that not be mitigated with the lack of daylight? <o:p></o:p></li></ul><ul type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'>I understand that for multi-storey buildings, eQuest considers only the top, ground and all middle floors are only considered to be one floor and the result is simply multiplied to show the final performance. How does that work? Every floor in a building might have different functions, different internal loads, systems etc. How can equest only model one floor and multiply the result. Would this not be inaccurate?<o:p></o:p></li></ul><p>Thanks in advance<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Yusuf Turab<br>Managing Director<br>IGBC Accredited Professional, LEED Green Associate & GRIHA Trainer<br>Y T Enterprises<br>18 A, Hamsa Layout ¦ R.S Puram ¦ Coimbatore - 641002<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=right style='text-align:right'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tel: +91 (0)422 4368896<br>Fax: +91 (0)422 2473697<br><a href="http://www.ytenterprises.com/" target="_blank">http://www.ytenterprises.com/</a><br><br>***** Email confidentiality notice *****<br>The information contained in this email and any attachments is intended for the name recipients only.
