<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am currently struggling with a problem concerning the electricity consumption of the building I modeled in eQuest. eQuest predicts a way higher electricity consumption than it actually was billed for by the power provider. eQuest predicts
a usage of about 330 MWh a year and the actual bills were at 73MWh for a year. Being sure that the power provider doesn’t give away free electricity, I am currently trying to figure out where I made a mistake.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One possible problem could be, that I included all the mechanicals (like pumps, AHU, fan, unit heater, boiler,…) in the plug loads (misc. equipment), which I read later, I should not do. But I am also not able to find where I can correct
it without going back to the wizard and losing all my changes made in detailed mode. Now it is only shown as equipment load which (if I understand correctly) includes my plug loads and also the electricity consumption calculated by eQuest of the HVAC system.
So is the consumption of the HVAC system accounted for twice? Since I only want to redo my plug loads, how can I do that without interfering with the eQuest calculation of the HVAC electricity usage? Any help with that?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, these loads should not be a majority of the building and the overall consumption will still be too high (at least that’s my guess). Anyone ever had the same problem? <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lights consumption is about correct. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your help.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
