<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">One of my recent models on DOE 2.3, with VRF, take much longer to run (~30min) than what eQUEST takes normally.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The calculation time isn’t that long compared to EnergyPlus, but eQUEST has a tendancy to “completely freeze” the computer while the calculation is going… which is kind of troublesome.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Has anyone noticed the same thing? I’m wondering if it has to do with the VRF calculations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
