 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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
