Graphical summary reports provide a single-run results summary, a comparative results summary<br />

(compares results from multiple separate building simulation runs), and parametric tabular reports (compare<br />

annual results by endues, incremental or cumulative results).<br />

Additional output includes input/output summary reports (rule-of-thumb and other indices), nonhourly<br />

simulation results (tabular/text DOE-2 SIM file reports), hourly simulation results (text and commaseparated<br />

variable hourly listings for thousands of simulation variables), and California Title 24 compliance<br />

analysis reports.<br />

1.2.27.7. Computer Platform<br />

Microsoft Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Vista<br />

1.2.27.8. Programming Language<br />

Interface: C++, DOE-2.2 engine: FORTRAN<br />

1.2.27.9. Strengths<br />

The unique strength of eQUEST is that it is an energy performance design tool that evaluates wholebuilding<br />

performance throughout the entire design process.<br />

Its wizards (schematic, design development, and energy efficiency measure) make it possible for any<br />

member of the design team to explore the energy performance of design concepts from the earliest design<br />

phase. Its detailed interface (a full-featured Windows front-end for DOE-2.2) supports detailed analysis<br />

throughout the construction documents, commissioning, and post occupancy phases.<br />

Its execution speed makes it feasible to perform many evaluations of large models, capturing critical<br />

interactions between building systems at the whole-building level.<br />

Its rule-based processor provides intelligent dynamic defaults in the interface and enables automated<br />

quality control checks of simulation inputs and results and automated Title 24 compliance (certified by the<br />

California Energy Commission for use with the 2001 and 2005 Title 24 compliance analysis).<br />

1.2.27.10. Weaknesses<br />

Defaults and automated compliance analysis has not yet been extended from California Title 24 to<br />

ASHRAE 90.1. It does not yet support SI units (I-P units only). Ground-coupling and infiltration/natural<br />

ventilation models are simplified and limited. Daylighting can be applied only to convex spaces (all room<br />

surfaces have an unrestricted view of each surface) and cannot be transmitted (borrowed) through interior<br />

glazed surfaces. Custom functions in DOE-2.1E (allows users limited customization of source code without<br />

having to recompile the code) have not yet been made available in DOE-2.2 or eQUEST.
