<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’m hoping you, or anyone else on the board, has another trick up your sleeves. I have a multitude of simulations I need to run and I need to generate the base hourly results for each. This is conventionally
done by clicking on Tools > View Simulations Output > Open then clicking on the Hourly Results button in the D2SimViewer (see below)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Is there a way to modify the eQuest.ini file, similar to the tip in the previous post, that will have eQuest generate the Hourly Results by default when running a simulation?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">TRICK.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">eQUEST can generate a handy HVAC Summary file (.csv) automatically when you simulate. You have to open the “eQUEST.INI” file and insert the line, “StoreResults_HVAC_Summary=1” as shown in the screen shot below. The eQUEST.INI file is in
the eQUEST Data directory, in both 3.65 and 3.64, which can be found in Tools -> View File Locations -> View eQUEST Data Directory. Once you modify, and save the eQUEST.INI file, there will be a “YOUR_PROJECT_NAME – HVAC Summary.csv” file in the project folder
after you open and simulate your project. I mostly use the Air-Side System Summaries portion of the file to help with automating fan power and EIR calculations for Baseline models.<o:p></o:p></p>
