[Equest-users] Envelope - Clearstory

[Brendan Arnold]

I created a level above the top floor that represents the clearstories, now I am trying to incorporate that level into the floor below.  Could someone give me a quick run down on how to merge or import surfaces/spaces.

Thank you.

Brendan

Yes, that's correct.  You can either import the surfaces one by one in the equest interface, or work directly in the .inp file.  Depending on the number of surfaces, the latter may be easier.

Steven, Thank you for the help.
If I am going to merge the spaces later, and create the level in the DD, do I only need to worry about the geometry and glazing finishes of the clearstory?  I am assuming that all the schedules and lighting profiles, etc. will be taken from the other merged space.  Is this correct?

Thanks,
-Brendan

Brendan,

It depends on the geometry you're trying to model.  If the clerestory windows are vertical, you could consider creating an additional "floor" and defining a clerestory space in the DD wizard complete with roof slope, wall areas, window placement, etc  then merge it into the space it will be a part of in the detailed interface.

If the geometry of the clerestory is more complex, you'll have to construct everything in the detailed interface.

Does anyone have good method for modeling clearstories.  The clearstories are on a southern zone but facing to the north.
Can this be done in the DD wizard, or do I need to be in the Detailed Interface?

Any help is appreciated. thanks.
