<p class="MsoNormal">Looks like eQUEST will, with specific airside system types (not all: SZRH, VAVS, RHFS, HP, CBVAV, PSZ, PVAVS, PTAC, and PVVT) and for electric meters only, determine the coincident sub-hourly peak draw for those systems’ central/zonal
components (compressor/fans/reheat/baseboards/etc), and layer that on top of the remaining hourly consumptions determined elsewhere in the model (plant loads, lighting, etc). This “modified” peak which isn’t quite the results of a sub-hourly timestep throughout
the model is reported as “billing demand” and as a result can report higher than “metered demand.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve got a project on my hand in which the electrical demand reported in the PS-E report doesn’t match the billing demand in the ES-E report.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve found that this was due to the “demand interval” of 15 mins on the utility meter. Fixing the demand interval to 60 mins solved the matching demand problem between the PS-E and ES-E report.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m just curious as how does eQUEST calculate subhour demand and determined that some electric heating power in my building didn’t last more than 15min.<o:p></o:p></p>
