Hello all,
I'm looking for recommendations of how to model just one section of a
building in eQUEST. Three sides are exterior walls, while the fourth is
connected to the rest of the building, and therefore next to a
conditioned space. Would the best method be to just use two separate
shells (1 - the building "wing" I'm analyzing, 2 - the rest of the
building), although I'm only concerned with one of them? Is there a
better way to do this? I'm hoping someone can point me in the right
direction.
Thanks,
Chris Swanson, EI

A suggestion for you both:
Right click any side of a shell during DD wizards at the zone definition
screen (after any custom footprint/zoning patterns) to make that wall
section "entirely adiabatic." This sidesteps making any extra
shells/systems and avoids having to back any figures out later.
Screengrab following illustrates where I'm talking about - results in
the background.
You can accomplish the same net effect in detailed mode in various ways,
but I think this is probably the easiest/fastest approach if you know
from the start you want to model only part of a building with exterior
exposures.
Best of luck!
