i typically just do screen caps when setting up my baseline model.
it's quick, painless, and makes mothers very happy ... and is done
early ...<br>
<br>
yeah, one would think there would be a details of hvac systems
output report showing the direct inputs, but there's not. unless
you're good at creating custom reports & can create one that
pulls input data from the hvac section? if that's even data
possible for equest to pull ...<br>
<br>
or you could parse the info from the .sim file keying on just the =
system name, heat-sizing-rati & cool-sizing-rati variables.<br>
<br>
"PSZ-1" = SYSTEM <br>
TYPE = PSZ<br>
HEAT-SOURCE = FURNACE<br>
ZONE-HEAT-SOURCE = NONE<br>
BASEBOARD-SOURCE = NONE<br>
SIZING-RATIO = 1.15<br>
HEAT-SIZING-RATI = 1.25<br>
COOL-SIZING-RATI = 1.15<br>

the reports and associated help documentation however, I’m
