Hi,

1. How can the following roof be modeled in eQuest 3.64: ?a
Carlisle Roofing System (0.60? EPDM ballasted rubber membrane).? River
rocks are applied at 10 pounds/SF to hold the membrane in place.??

2. The building ?modeled in eQuest , is its idf file separately available under any folder? also the outputs, are they available in excel files?

3. for the exterior doors, under selection "doors by option" if west and north options are selected 1 it would mean there is one door on the west and north sides of the building?

4. for the attached building pic how will the exterior windows be described?

Thanks
Sehar

Sehar,
Here?s my attempt to answer some of your questions:

1. You can model this by modifying the reflectance of your roof membrane either through the wizard (below) or through the detailed interface if you know the roof reflectance.

2. The eQUEST input file is a .inp file. Should be in your project folder. Some of the outputs can be found in a CSV file titled Parms.csv. You can also set up hourly reports for a number of variables that outputs as a csv file too. You just need to click on the hourly report button once you set it up and run it.

3. Yes

4. In the wizard I would use the custom window/door placement.
