[Equest-users] Underfloor Patchwork

[Brahme, Rohini UTRC]

Long time back there was a write up on how to calculate the impact of
soil - and generate fictitious layer for walls/floors in contact with
soil - I think it was in the building simulation user news, with respect
to DOE-2.1 e. Depending on the perimeter area, the equivalent R-value of
the fictitious material is different. Probably equest uses the same
procedure.

This is a question that I've wondered about for a while. When you come
out of the wizard, an UF material is created for each zone(like below),
with different properties for each zone - with an amazing variation in
properties across the board. Does anyone know why? Is it reasonable to
assign one material to all of them (assuming they are the same
construction and sitting on the same soil), and if so, how do I know
which material to pick out of the 20+ construction assemblies created?
