class=071471515-11092006>Scott, I believe John is right. eQUEST will model the
spaces as each shell is defined (i.e. if you have an external wall defined
colliding with a space, it will model as an external wall). One way I've
successfully used the DD Wizard to define an adiabatic wall is to define a
larger footprint and then define a zone that doesn't intersect with one of the
outer walls. The walls are only created depending on the zone in relation to the
footprint defined. Therefore if a zone wall is on the same plane as the
footprint wall, you'll get an outer wall. When a zone wall is inside the
footprint, you get an adiabatic, interior wall. This saves going into the
detailed interface at this point.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Multiple building shells and the impact on mech equipment</P>
<P>Scott:</P>
<P>If I understand you correctly, you have some of your shells spatially
overlapping one another. I believe your question is if somehow the two areas
will mix load.</P>
<P>I believe the answer is no. I have mistakenly placed multiple shell virtually
one on top of another (not knowing I had done it), and eQUEST performed the
simulation with no errors, and as if I had these two shells independent (one was
supposed to be a 1st floor and another a 2nd floor - I had forgotten to use the
Z component to raise the 2nd floor up).</P>
<P>I hope this is the answer what you are asking.</P></FONT></DIV><BR>
