I have extensive experience with eQuest software, having used it for over three years in energy modeling and building performance analysis. I am proficient in creating detailed energy models, running simulations, and interpreting results to optimize building designs for energy efficiency. My work has included projects ranging from small commercial buildings to large-scale developments, ensuring compliance with energy codes and sustainability standards.

To ensure accuracy, I meticulously verify input data, cross-check assumptions, and validate results against real-world performance data. I also use eQuest's built-in error-checking tools and conduct sensitivity analyses to identify and correct discrepancies. Regularly updating my knowledge of the latest ASHRAE standards and energy codes further enhances the precision of my models.

One challenging project involved modeling a mixed-use building with complex HVAC systems. I collaborated with architects and engineers to accurately represent the building's design in eQuest, addressing issues like zoning and load calculations. By iteratively refining the model and running multiple simulations, I achieved a design that met energy efficiency goals and exceeded client expectations.

I stay updated by regularly attending webinars, participating in user forums, and reviewing release notes from the eQuest development team. Additionally, I engage with professional networks and attend industry conferences to learn about new features and best practices, ensuring I leverage the software's full potential in my projects.

When discrepancies arise, I conduct a thorough review of the model inputs, assumptions, and calibration processes. I compare simulation results with actual utility data and building performance metrics to identify gaps. By adjusting parameters and re-running simulations, I align the model with real-world performance, ensuring future accuracy and reliability.
