You are awesome! Yes I'm trying to calculate the W/cfm <-- what cfm do you use? Autosized or manually calculated? T

I have some basic questions, I am in Equest modelling the reference/baseline building to 90.1-2010 standards. 

On the airside HVAC for PSZ systems, what do I enter for the cooling and heating capacity? I am guessing the program sizes it for me? (x1.15 and x1.25 respectively?)

Do I convert EER to EIR and put into unitary power - cooling?

Do I inverse 80% thermal eff and put it into furnace heat input ratio - heating?

How do I calculate fan power without the CFM? Or how do I get the CFM?

Thanks again, really appreciate your clarity. I want to push you a bit further in this. If I make an hourly report of my

Thanks for your comments! A follow-up to #4. The formula in 6.5.3.1.1.A requires "CFMs". How do I get CFM of the auto-

Hi! From first glance of your question, considering the building is not conditioned, the issue could be that your build

So Chris, are you saying that it forces some variables in your proposed model? Furthermore, it seems as though CANQUEST

Trying to learn energy modelling by myself. I've gotten to the point where I can simulate proposed buildings. But I cannot figure out how to model the compliance reference building per ASHRAE 90.1 in Equest for the life of me. Probably too big of a question but any guidance would be really appreciated :) Thanks!

Odd answering my own question but this might help some others: A really awesome person told me to go to the LEED online

I just have a basic question about the automatically generated reference building in CANQUEST. From what I gather, in eQuest it's good practice to model the baseline building to ASHRAE 90.1 without the use of the automatically generated baseline tool. This ensures that the baseline building is modeled accurately and correctly. However, I was wondering if it's acceptable to use the automatically generated baseline building in CANQUEST when modeling to NECB 2011? Any fellow Canadian users have experience with the automatically generated reference building and can comment on its capabilities/accuracy? Thanks for your help!

Thanks Phylroy, it does =)

Thanks for your answer Chris, really appreciate it. After you fine tune your building, do you bring it back into CANques
