[bldg-sim] ERV/HRV Questions

["Andrew Craig" <andrew_c@xxxxxxxxx>]

1. ERV/HRV is incorporated in HVAC System Parameters.  Double-clicking on the HVAC unit in the Component tree tab will bring up the Parameters box.  Under the Outside Air Tab there is a category for Heat Recovery.  However, it should be noted that not all HVAC system types have the option to add ERV/HRV.
2. You can tilt exterior walls in the “Detailed Edit” mode although it could become quite complex to make the various envelope components meet up correctly.  Coming from the Wizard, all walls are assumed to be at 90 deg to the horizon.  Typically you could model the walls at 90 deg unless you are trying to see some benefit with self-shading on the building, etc.  To my knowledge no curved shapes can be explicitly modeled in eQUEST.  It is acceptable to simplify curved shapes with angles.
3. Again, almost all unique building construction needs to be done in the “Detailed Edit” mode.  You can eliminate floors, roofs, change equipment/lighting distribution, etc.

Hello All,

Does anybody know how to do the following in eQuest:

1. Incorporate ERV/HRV?
2. Create complex building envelope (angled in vertical type of wall/ circular wall/trapezoid wall, etc,)? What kind of simplification can be done?
3. Create a building with a mezzanine inside?

 

Thank you for your kind attention.

 

Sincerely,
