<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I meet a problem when I use eQUEST to
model a gymnasium, which has a pitched roof. eQUEST automatically separate the
gymnasium to two spaces: one is a cube-shape "Space" (under the roof) and the
other is a triangle- shape "Under Roof". While the "Space" is specified as
conditioned, the "Under Roof" is specified as un-conditioned by eQUEST.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>As shown in the report LS-B (Space
Peak Load Components), there is no load from roof for the
"Space" but there is load from roof for the "Under
Roof". However, as shown in the report LS-C (Building Peak Load
Components), only the loads for the "Space" are accounted for. So, my question
is where the load from roof is? In the simulated gymnasium, there is no ceiling
and the roof is exposed to the space of the gymnasium. As a result, the load
from roof should be included (at least partially) in the building peak load,
which needs to be treated by the HVAC system. Am I right? </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>Does eQUEST actually account for this load although it doesn't
show in the report LS-C?</FONT></DIV>

appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
