    This document provides a summary of the steps taken to analyze an administrative block in Pune, India using eQUEST software. It describes importing the AutoCAD floor plan, creating zones, defining building envelope constructions, adding HVAC inputs like temperature setpoints and equipment sizing, and performing simulations to obtain results on annual energy consumption breakdown and optimization strategies. The analysis found that electricity usage could be reduced by adopting passive design strategies, efficient equipment scheduling, and reducing HVAC loads through natural ventilation.

    eQUEST ANALYSIS OF A ADMIN BLOCK OF


    AN INSTITUTION, PUNE
    ASSIGNMENT : 03

    SUBMITTED BY : ANUSHA AKKI


    PNR NO. 1918110002 SEM - III GUIDED BY : AMEY NAPHADE SIR
    IMPORTING AUTOCADD FILE (PLAN) eQUEST

    STEP 1: Open the software, this is first tab you see after opening.

    STEP 2 : Click on create a new project via wizard and select design
    development wizard
    IMPORTING AUTOCADD FILE (PLAN) eQUEST

    STEP 1: Enter the General


    information like Project
    name, building type
    Import BIN file of the city
    where the building is located

    STEP 2 :Select the description of


    the season you need.
    Here I have selected typical use
    throughout the year. And then
    select return to navigator

    STEP 2 :Mention the floor for


    which analysis has to be done
    and again select the type of the
    building.
    IMPORTING AUTOCADD FILE (PLAN) eQUEST

     STEP 1: Select the zoning


    pattern to be
    created(Perimeter)
     Import CAD file of single
    line dwg.
     Mention the building
    orientation
     Mention the Floor to Floor
    height of the building.
     It gives the total area of the
    building.
     Select the units.
     Create the layers and can
    make it visible and
    invisible as per your
    requirement.
     Click on apply
    CREATE ZONES eQUEST

     STEP 1: Set the Snap


    Priority as first for CAD &
    No snap for polygon and
    grid.
     It takes up the origin
    points
     Once the cad drawing is
    imported, click on the
    arrow to draw the
    perimeter of the building.
     The perimeter has to be
    always drawn in anti-
    clockwise direction.
     The same process has to
    be done for creating zones
    in the plan so that
    separate analysis of these
    zones can be done.
    eQUEST

     STEP 1: Mention floor to


    floor height and floor to
    ceiling height.
     Mention the zones that
    need to be conditioned,
    unconditioned and
    refrigerated.
     In ‘Building Envelope
    Constructions’ tab select
    the specifications of roof
    surface and walls
    according to our
    requirement. Here it is kept
    as default.
     In ‘Building Interior
    Constructions’ select the
    required interior finishes
    for ceiling and interior
    walls.
    eQUEST
     STEP 1: In ‘Exterior Doors’
    tab select the door type and
    mention the numbers of doors
    to be oriented in each
    direction.
     Click on next screen.
     In ‘Exterior Windows’ tab
    select the required window
    specification method (percent
    of net wall floor to ceiling)
     Describe the window type
    glass category, window
    dimensions, sill height and
    orientation.
     Custom the placement of
    window in plan and again
    click on create new window
    for placing next window.
     Select the windows that needs
    to have overhangs. In this case
    we have given overhangs for
    all the windows.

    HVAC eQUEST

     In ‘HVAC System Definition’


    tab select type of the system
    and mention no heating is
    required.
     In ‘HVAC zones : Temperature
    and air flows’ mention design
    temperatures in Fahrenheit and
    also mention the required
    minimum air flow speed for
    the design.
     In ‘ Packaged HVAC

    get the simulated report for the customized zones and
    inputs added.
    RESULTS & INFERENCES eQUEST
     Electricity consumed for different uses like lighting,
    Misc. Equipment's, ventilation are given in pie chart in
    terms of percentage.
     It gives the annual energy consumption for all the given
    equipment's.
     It gives the graph showing electric consumption in
    KWh for different months in a year.
     The color legends provide information about electric
    consumption in KWh.
    OPTIMISED DESIGN RESULTS

     This software provides over all electric consumptions throughout the used by the
    building according to its schedule given.
     We can optimize the efficiency of building operation by adopting passive
    strategies which in turn reduces the load on energy consumption.
     By following basic energy conservative rules like off the equipment's we can
    reduce the energy consumption.
     This software provides the detailed scheduling of use of equipment's where we
    can manage to get the appropriate consumption of electricity.

    VIEWS
     This is the total consumption of
    electricity by various equipment's after
    optimizing the operation schedule of
    the equipment's and reducing the
    HVAC load in the work station where
    natural ventilation helps to keep the
    interior comfort.
