Hi All,

I am a mechanical engineer working in New Zealand. I am currently trying to use Ecotect to calculate annual energy use of an office building. I saw in one of the dicussion fourms resource consumption is reccomended.

I am having a few problems using that:

1. The graph scale is completley irrelevant to the results. I tried changing the scales but with no luck

2. In Daily energy use, The wh values are completely wrong. For example for 1 simple light, with 1 watt; i get 79 wh for 24 hours and not 24 wh which should make more sense. No schedule was used. When i use a schedule the number changes but it still doesnt make much sense.

3. In hourly energy use, I get two spikes at 12am and 3am and the rest is zero !! ( as if light is on only at 12 and 3 and off the rest of the day)

The model will have many light fixtures, printers, computers and more But i cant go into that when the numbers for 1 bulb dont make sense

There is not much information on the website or help files (none that i can find anyway)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Kind regards,
Sherif Badran
