<p class="MsoNormal">The latest version of eQUEST has the new VRF capabilities. You’ll need to download v3.65 Build 7175 and run it in DOE-2.3 mode. The new features are described in the DOE-2 help file, Volume 6. Doug Maddox did (most of? all of?) the work
implementing it. He posted a webinar and a one-hour video at his website: <a href="http://www.maddoxenergy.com/Webinars.htm">
http://www.maddoxenergy.com/Webinars.htm</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Methodology is consistent with latest EnergyPlus “physics-based” model.” I hope you will share your research findings and/or any additional VRF curves you create with Equest-users when you’re finished.<o:p></o:p></p>
