[Equest-users] Equest-generated Construction Materials

[Ryan Schmidt]

After the Wizard Mode is completed, construction layers are formed for
the various external surfaces based on the designated insulation and
construction types. What does the "self-named" material correspond to
(such as material "E2 EWall Cons Mat 2 (0.91)")? I would assume that
depending on the framing or construction method, equest would generate a
derating factor to account for discontinuities in insulation, etc.
However the "self-named" material improves the overall u-value for the
composition. What does this layer correspond to and can it be omitted
when redefining the layers in Detail Mode? Thanks in advance for your
help.
