<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hello,<br>
<br>
I have a question about eQuest modeling - I created a model of quite simple rectangle Office building, but in results I have no consumption of electricity for cooling during winter (november - march) although in area specification I have 6 % of floor area specified
as a Computer server room (data centre) with 100 % plug load in occupied and unoccupied times.<br>
<br>
The building is in Prague (Czech republic) and from my experiences based on real dates from existing building there´s always consumption of cooling energy for data server rooms in winter in this location.<br>
<br>
Do you know, where the problem can? What parameter could I insert wrongly?<br>
<br>
Thanks for advices.<br>
<br>
Frantisek</p>
