[Equest-users] Perimeter slab on grade

[Bishop, Bill]

Mark,
 
eQUEST models two-dimensional slab-edge heat transfer effects with one
dimensional approximations. You select "earth contact" for Ground Floor
Exposure in the Wizard, and select your perimeter floor insulation, and
eQUEST creates custom construction layers, materials and constructions
for each of the floor surfaces, based on the slab perimeter length and
total floor area of each surface. That's why you end up with so many
constructions, layers and materials for floors (which show up in
detailed edit mode). You can modify the floor constructions in detailed
edit mode if you feel it's appropriate.
 
Regards,
Bill

Subject: [Equest-users] Perimeter slab on grade
 
How do I account for slab on grade perimeter heat transfer in eQuest?
The info pages say it's not ye implemented.  Can I enter the data in the
detailed menus?
 
Thanks,
Mark Beaudry
