I took a quick look at your files, and noticed that the occupancy
was input in different ways between the two models (AREA/PERSON in
one and NUMBER-OF-PEOPLE in the other). Also, two spaces have
PEOPLE-SCHEDULE defined in one case, and not in the other. I
assume that NUMBER-OF-PEOPLE override AREA/PERSON, but am not sure.
I suggest that you look at the LOADS reports in the *.SIM files and
see what are the actual occupancy and occupancy schedule that are
being modeled. Please note that occupancy affects other operations
as well, such as the amount of outside air, etc. <br>

<p><span>Dear All,</span></p>
<p><span>Something strange is
happening in this proposed model. When I change the total
building occupancy
from eQuest default numbers (321) to real numbers that I
have for the actual
design (361), total building energy consumption increases
tremendously (from $135,741
to $144,114). However, when I increase the occupancy in
the baseline model
(with System 6), the total building energy consumption
does not increase too
much. Please refer to the attached files (INP and PD2
files of proposed model with
different building occupancy).</span><br>
