<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello! I found this mailing list while searching
for eQUEST FAQ/Help/Email address to send bugs to. I am trying to model a
building that will be located inside a hangar (enclosed on all sides but one).
Two questions thus far that someone out there hopefully knows the answer
to:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Is there a way to say "no exposure" for exterior
walls like the option for roofs?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) I have three demand blocks for Electric Utility
Charges (screen 4/7 on Project and Site Data Wizard) - it let me add blocks once
but I deleted them by accident and now it won't let me add blocks. If I select
"Second Season" and try to add demand blocks there, it lets me. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also on demand blocks, mine are </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1st 500 kw - $9/kw</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>next 100 kw - $9.32/kw</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>over 1500 kw - $8.34/kw</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Would the correct way to define this in eQUEST be
to set block sizes at 500, 100, and 1500 and the $/kW at the respective values
above? The Help section in eQUEST isn't clear on this point.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) What is the difference between the Wizard and
the "detailed interface"? Is the detailed interface just the other things you
can click (EE measure wizard, simulate building performance, etc) under the
"building creation wizard button"? If not, how do I access the "detailed
interface" and what is it used for?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you in advance for any assistance.
