[Equest-users] complicated roofs

[Paul Diglio]

Jerry:

Any word yet why I cannot get Vasari to install on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

Thank you,

Paul Diglio

Hi Andy – our free BIM energy modeler, Vasari, can model complex roofs and send 
the geometry to eQuest via an .inp (DOE2.2 file) export.  Beyond roofs, I have 
found Vasari to be a highly capable “egg shell” energy modeling tool.  

 
Vasari can take the place of the wizard and provide an energy model which can be 
shared more freely both upstream and downstream.

Hi all,

Thanks for previous help regarding GSHP/WSHP, spot on. 

I'm trying to model a house with a complicated roof in the DD wizard. Basement, 
1FL, 2FL all have slightly different footprints, and some of the roof is over 
1FL, the rest is over 2FL. The 3D model looks as if the 1FL roof penetrates the 
2FL structure.

How do I model something like this or a dormer? Or is it reasonable to simplify 
it away? I haven't tried making separate structures of the 1FL area that has 
roof over it yet- does that work?

Thanks, 

Andy McLeod,
