Hi all,<br>
<br>
Thank you thus far for helping me learn eQuest, I have some very
basic questions which are 30 second answer type questions much
is appreciated thank you!!!<br>
<br>
<br>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Question 1: For hourly loads when I choose:<br>
<br>
a)Does the following give me the total electricity consumption
by the AC for cooling in kWh? how would i get the associated
power consumption by the fan/system? or does this includes it as
well?<br>
electric meter ---> cooling end-use energy <br>
<font color="#cc0000">There is a separate end use for fans
("vent fan end-use energy")</font><br>
<br>
b) same as a but for Electric Furnace.... This I assume is the
electric consumption for heating... how would i get the power
consumption used by fans etc for the electric furnace? or does
this includes it as well?<br>
electric meter --> heating end-use energy<br>
<font color="#cc0000">Ditto</font><br>
</div>

<div dir="ltr">c) Does the following give me total Gas consumption
by the furnace only? how would i get the fan power consumption
associated with the furnace?<br>
electric meter ---> heating end-use energy<br>
<font color="#cc0000">Same idea as above, but I am assuming you
mean Fuel Meter - Heating end-use energy. In any case the fan
energy would be under the electric meter.</font><br>

d) For the Natural Gas Furnace, does the Btu/hr = input or
output? ( I assume input since it is consumption)<br>
<font color="#cc0000">My understanding is that capacity =
output. Many times mechanical schedules list input rather than
output capacity for gas-fired equipment, so this is something
to watch out for.</font><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Question 2: are the hourly readings for the output i.e. hour
1,2....20....24 beginning of the hour or After the hour...
becuase scheduling works : 1-2. 2-3.... etc but the output in
excel is hourly...<br>
<font color="#cc0000">It depends on the variable you're
referring to. Most are constant throughout the hour since it's
an hourly tool and there's no differentoatoion between 12:01
and 12:59 data wise. But some varibles specifically say that
they are an average (e.g. "the average temp during this hour
[deg F]" under variable type Thermal Zone). As far as
schedules are concerned, hour 1 in the hourly report refers to
the schedule input labeled "midnight to 1", i.e. the first
hour, or hour 1.</font><br>
<br>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Question 3:<br>
in SD wizard I can easily enter SEER or AFUE for the
systems... I can't find that anywhere in DDedit... I dont want
to go back to SD becuase all my changes will be erased!<br>
<font color="#cc0000">AFUE and SEER are not valid input in
detailed mode, only in the wizard. The wizard makes these
conversions for you hwen you click Finish. In Detailed mode you
have to conver to EIR and HIR (electric input ratio and heat
input ratio respectively).</font><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you very much !!! I may have a few beginner questions as
I run into them But much is appreciated!<br>
<br>
