[Equest-users] External Adiabatic

Wed Apr 27 13:55:41 PDT 2011

I like that. It’s elegant. eQ still wanted Constructions and Layers, so I set the overall U to 0.001 and used an interior wall construction.

Thanks!

I think the u value can be changed to 0.001 to male the wall with almost zero heat transfer when in detailed mode. I tried doing that n it worked.

Yes, the problem here is I am deep into detailed mode. Looks like we have to crack open the text edit again.

“A suggestion for you both:

Right click any side of a shell during DD wizards at the zone definition screen (after any custom footprint/zoning patterns) to make that wall section “entirely adiabatic.”  This sidesteps making any extra shells/systems and avoids having to back any figures out later.  Screengrab following illustrates where I’m talking about – results in the background.

You can accomplish the same net effect in detailed mode in various ways, but I think this is probably the easiest/fastest approach if you know from the start you want to model only part of a building with exterior exposures.

Best of luck!

You have the right idea.  Depending on the building of course, but I try to lump the part you aren't concerned about onto one AHU, and default everything in that portion.  You are only concerned about the intersecting wall and it's condition.  Add your other AHU's and zoning for the portion you want to work on.  With the one extra AHU is makes it relatively easy to back out its numbers from the building analysis and you are left with what you want.

Hello all,

I’m looking for recommendations of how to model just one section of a building in eQUEST.  Three sides are exterior walls, while the fourth is connected to the rest of the building, and therefore next to a conditioned space.  Would the best method be to just use two separate shells (1 – the building “wing” I’m analyzing, 2 – the rest of the building), although I’m only concerned with one of them?  Is there a better way to do this?  I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I can't find this thread I remember seeing about turning an exterior surface adiabatic where new construction meets existing building, ideas?
