I’m wondering if you could adjust the zone min. airflow setpoint to the lower unoccupied setpoint for 10% of the occupied hours, to kind of match the 10% reduction in LPD per Appendix G. If the zone temperature setpoint is also reset based on the occupancy sensor, it seems like you could also adjust the temperature setpoint schedules in eQuest to the lower/higher unoccupied settings for 10% of the occupied hours. My guess is this would have negligible effect on energy savings, but maybe not.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:Calibri;color:black'>From: </span></b><span style='font-family:Calibri;color:black'>Equest-users <equest-users-bounces@lists.onebuilding.org> on behalf of Manuela Mengue via Equest-users <equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org><br><b>Reply-To: </b>Manuela Mengue <mmengue@dagherengineering.com><br><b>Date: </b>Thursday, March 16, 2017 at 10:59 AM<br><b>To: </b>John Aulbach <jra_sac@yahoo.com>, "'equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org'" <equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Equest-users] HVAC Occupancy Sensors<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black'>John,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black'>See Appendix G – Table G3.2 (2) Occupancy sensor for Non-24h and <5000 ft2.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>My question pertained to the HVAC component which achieves additional savings for installing occupancy sensors.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black'>Best regards,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Futura Md BT";color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Futura Md BT";color:black'>Manuela Mengue</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Futura Lt BT";color:black'>Design Engineer</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri'> John Aulbach [mailto:jra_sac@yahoo.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, March 16, 2017 10:38 AM<br><b>To:</b> Manuela Mengue <mmengue@dagherengineering.com>; 'equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org' <equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Equest-users] HVAC Occupancy Sensors</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Verdana'>Somewhere, in the mysteries of space, I have always been told to use 15% less lighting for the proposed case for occupancy sensors.
