<p style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">This on-demand training develops the technical
skills necessary for modeling commercial and multifamily buildings in eQUEST
following requirements of ASHRAE Standard 90.1 2016 Appendix G, as used in NYS
ECCC 2020, ENERGY STAR Multifamily New Construction Program, Enterprise Green
Communities, LEED BD+C/ID+C v4 Pilot Credit EApc111, LEED BD+C/ID+C v4.1, and
various other programs for high performance buildings. After a brief
introduction to Appendix G and an overview of the key features of eQUEST,
participants will work on a case study involving a mixed-use multifamily
building. We will start by importing CAD drawings into a simulation file, and
then cover the various input and reporting requirements of Appendix G as
applied to the case study relying on eQUEST’s Wizard Mode as a convenient
method of data entry. Methods to convert available project data into
eQUEST-friendly inputs will also be demonstrated. The course will continue with
an introduction to eQUEST’s Detailed Mode. We will then fine tune the model
using the detailed interface and take advantage of the parametric runs
functionality to complete the Appendix G baseline and proposed models.
Additional topics will include model quality assurance and troubleshooting,
strategies to increase modeling productivity, and documenting results following
LEED/ENERGY STAR MFNC program requirements. </span></p>
