Peter et all,
See my post following this one (I received my copy through the list at
9:07) - I am sure you'll find creating a few internal walls from scratch
(after the wizards) to be much less time-intensive and simpler than
creating dummy spaces with zero energy consumption but equal
temperatures to avoid heat transfer... If this seems confusing ask for
elaboration.

Reba,
Are you talking about doing, for example, a retail space with a store
front and it has 2 walls that abut other buildings making them interior?
If that is the case you have to make 2 other blocks of no significant
shape next to the space that you are analyzing as fill in the blank
spaces. These are really place holders for other portions of the
building. You will have to make the items in these spaces use 0 energy
by making all their lighting HVAC occupancy etc. 0. In other words make
a schedule that turns on 0 of the equipment. The 2 spaces that abut the
space you are analyzing should be drawing no energy otherwise they will
show up in the analysis. I did this tutorial in another program.
Thanks,
PETER HILLERMANN

I'm running a simulation on just a portion of a building. eQuest sees
all walls of the polygon as exterior walls. In reality some walls are
interior and will not have heat transfer. Is there any way to make
eQuest see those walls as interior walls? I've thought of defining
those walls with super insulation and a large air space so heat transfer
is negligible. Anyone tried that?
