<p class="" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="color:rgb(39,78,19);font-family:Arial,sans-serif">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></p>

your comments on this issue,</span><br></p>
