SD Wizard: Step 3 eQUEST Module 1 STEP 3: SIMULATE THE BUILDING. MODULE TEXT Now that you have created an energy model in eQUEST you need to simulate the building. eQUEST will run the model through a series of hourly heat transfer calculations that result in energy statistics for the model. To do this, click Simulate Building Performance on the Action Toolbar (8). eQUEST will quickly simulate the model’s energy performance for every day of a typical meteorological year. Can you imagine doing these calculations by hand? What would to take architects and engineers days and weeks to compile and calculate, now only takes eQUEST a few moments! Once eQUEST has finished the building simulation, the Simulation(s) Complete screen will appear giving you three options: return to the Input Building Description, view summary results/ reports, or view the Detailed Simulation Output. Since we are currently interested in reviewing the results of the analysis, click View Summary Results/Reports… 30 www.idlbozeman.com
Basic Energy Modeling and Comparative Runs Main Reports Window Navigation NAVIGATING THE MAIN REPORTS WINDOW This will open the Main Reports Window in eQUEST. There are many options you can choose in this view and many reports that you can analyze. The next few pages describe how to navigate this window and select reports, as well as describe some of the basic reports that you should review. The following list numbers and describes the important menus and buttons in the eQUEST Reports Window for your convenience: 1. Main Results Viewport 2.
