[Equest-users] F-Factor to U-Value

[Will Mak]

eQuest requires an input of a U-Value when modeling a slab on grab layer. Typically, you enter a F-Factor to account for the loss per perimeter length. I did some research but could not find any solid conclusions on what is suppose to be done to convert the F-Factor to a U-value or configure eQuest to correctly model this. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!
