Quick Start User’s Guide

The McQuay EnergyAnalyzer™ II program provides a quick method for estimating energy consumption in a typical building for a wide variety of HVAC systems. In addition, it can provide operating cost and life cycle analysis between two or more HVAC systems so that the best financial decision can be made. EnergyAnalyzer™ II should be used in a preliminary design phase in which justification of a system or improved equipment efficiency is necessary.

EnergyAnalyzer™ II System Requirements

EnergyAnalyzer™ II is a web-based application; the user must meet certain requirements to access and use the program:

 Internet access- Internet access of any type is required to access EnergyAnalyzerII

 Microsoft Silverlight-If Microsoft Silverlight is not installed or the current version is not

Basic Workflow

The flowchart shown in Fig. A indicates the steps required to navigate through EnergyAnalyzer™ II.

EnergyAnalyzer™ II program can be divided into nine easy steps to compare two different HVAC options. To get detailed information on each step please refer to user manual:

1. User validation

2. Create/edit run

3. Building specification

4. HVAC A

5. HVAC B

6. HVAC assign

7. Energy cost

9. Results

EnergyAnalyzer™ II is designed to help you compare energy costs of two different HVAC systems. Energy analysis runs can be completed with or without detailed information about a particular job. Below are required steps for preliminary and detailed analyses.

Steps for Preliminary (Four Step) Analysis

For an energy analysis on job with very little information or a job in the earliest part of the preliminary design phase, a simple analysis with default building specifications and energy cost approximations is most appropriate. These types of analyses only require four steps:

1. User validation

2. Create/edit job

3. Define one or two HVAC Systems

4. Results
