In class today I started to demonstrate eQuest, but it wasn’t available. I’ve been informed that it is now available on all the machines.
If you wish to explore it I recommend the following:
- The built-in help files – they’re quite good
- the eQuest Manual prepared by former student Ellen Peng. It’s in the Resources folder available in the menu on the left.
- This is a bit more detailed than you need – you accept defaults for many of the choices she discusses.
- The essence of what you do is:
- Build a model of your building in the Schematic Design Wizard
- Run a simulation of that building using a year’s weather for a location you choose in the USA (choose a US location with a similar climate for other countries)
- Look at the graphs of energy usage
- Go back to the Schematic Design Wizard and look at the charts that have been built showing the size of the components.
