<P><FONT size=2>Mohit,<BR>You should model the surface only once. Typically, (in
the eQUEST default models), its done with the roof (or ceiling) of the lower
floor representing the surface. When you build the surface, you will be asked to
define adjacencies (what space is next to it) for itnernal surfaces. If
you are modelling a surface that has an external exposure, you might need to
break it up into 2 surfaces though - one for the internal surfaces, and
one for external surfaces. Also, if there is one room adjecent to 2 rooms, (say
you have 2 spaces on the top floor, and one on the bottom), it would probably
make more sense to model it as 2 floors or 2 ceilings, because you can define
only one adjacency per internal surface.<BR><BR>hope that helps</FONT></P>

spaces (with almost similar profiles) one on top of the<BR>other; the upper
space has a "floor" and the lower (say interstitial)<BR>space has a "roof"
(basically an internal floor for the most part but it<BR>does get exposed at
some places). How does eQUEST read the constructions<BR>or R-values? Does it
take one or both constructions or does it add the<BR>R-values where they do
overlap?<BR>Thank you,<BR>~m<BR><BR><BR>==================<BR>You received this
