A distant cousin Martha just passed away, peacefully in her sleep at the age of 105, and left you with one of her many real estate properties. The last time you had dinner with Martha, you described this great class you were taking on sustainable energy. She was thrilled to hear your passion and ideas about a sustainable energy future. Martha changed her will to give you an old building on the stipulation that you create an energy efficiency showcase restaurant/café/bar. For this homework, you are going to use eQUEST to determine the energy performance of the building as is (termed "baseline") and explore how specific building improvements will change that baseline energy use. See the following eQUEST Background for more information on this freeware. Please follow the given steps and then generate a report documenting the results. Your report should not be a bunch of disjointed bar charts but a few well-explained sample bar charts and a few tables that summarize the results. Follow the typical homework format. eQUEST is a freeware created by the U.S. Department of Energy. You can go to www.doe2.om to download eQUEST and learn more about this freeware. eQUEST uses DOE-2.2 as a simulation engine and allows the user to model buildings either through the Schematic Design wizard (for preliminary analysis) or through the Design Development wizard (for more complex analysis). eQUEST also has a detailed editor to modify the input parameters (you need to be familiar with DOE-2 BDL to use the detailed editor). Parametric analysis can be performed by eQUEST using the Energy Efficiency Measure (EEM) wizard or a more advanced editor called Parametric Runs.
