Description

ool Something for everyone... Imagine a building energy simulation tool comprehensive enough to be useful to ALL design team members, yet so intuitive ANY design team member could use it, in ANY or ALL design phases, including schematic design. eQUEST is well named because it provides something the you’ve been looking for, but have been unable to find … a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use building energy analysis tool. With eQUEST, you’ll be able to provide professional-level results in an affordable level of effort. Evaluate today’s building technologies … at the speed of today’s design process… eQUEST was designed to allow you to perform detailed analysis of today’s state-of-the-art building design technologies using today’s most sophisticated building energy use simulation techniques but without requiring extensive experience in the "art" of building performance modeling. eQUEST = enhanced DOE-2 + Wizards + Graphics This is accomplished by combining a building creation wizard, an energy efficiency measure (EEM) wizard, and graphical reporting with a simulation "engine" derived from the latest version of DOE-2. Reliable detailed simulation has never been easier! eQUEST is supported as a part of the Energy Design Resources program which is funded by California utility customers and administered by Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric, and Southern California Edison, under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission. Download the eQUEST 3 Overview (~1.9 MB PDF) for a summary of eQUEST features and capabilities. eQUEST Training Under varied sponsorship we schedule eQUEST training sessions on a regular basis; you can check for currently planned sessions by clicking here . Other organizations also sponsor eQUEST training that we do not have information about; try a google search or ask on the eQUEST-Users or BLDG-SIM group. Participating on the eQUEST-Users and BDLG-SIM is also a good way to read and participate in discussions of eQUEST modeling methods and issues as well as topics in other areas of building energy use simulation. Visit oneBuilding.org to see other related discussion groups. eQUEST Version 3.64 Download: Current Release (posting date: 8/25/2010, ~53 MB): Download a complete eQUEST version 3.64 installation for Windows 7/Vista/XP (and previous versions of Windows dating back to Win98). This version contains the current standard eQUEST release. Due to the large file size of the setup.exe we suggest that you download the program to your hard drive (select save after left clicking the link or right click on the link and "save target as") rather than opening or running the installation procedure from your browser. Owing to MS Windows 7 security considerations and to facilitate installation within military and corporate IT environments, eQUEST files are now installed by default into your ‘My Documents’ folder (the installation option ‘Just Me’ is now the default.) For details on the enhancements made to eQUEST and its DOE-2.2 simulation engine since version v3.63b please review the following three documents: - DOE-2.2 Documentation, Volume 6: New Features describes DOE-2.
