[Equest-users] Materials for baseline design

Tue Sep 20 09:08:52 PDT 2011

All:

Also consider adding the .inp in the attached message to your toolbox
and simply importing to assign what you need.  This .inp is something
that's been distributed on the onebuilding.org lists in the past,
containing 90.1-2007 baseline roof and steel-framed wall constructions
for all climate zones, compiled with layers referencing Appendix A
requirements and materials per ASHRAE Fundamentals.  Review the notes
contained in the .inp for more info.

The Rocky Mountain Institute has a lovely set of modelling tools for
eQuest, and they include a text file with ASHRAE baseline constructions
that can be copied and pasted into your .inp file.  Their file also
includes reset schedules for the CHW and HW loops and some other useful
tidbits.

All the best,

________________________________

You can create custom constructions with the following layers. You will
need to adjust the thickness of the insulation layers slightly to
achieve the exact U-factor (inverse of overall R-value), but here is a
good starting point:

Roof (see A2.2.1): Built-up roofing, Polystyrene 4 in (R-5/in)
Walls (see A3.3.1): 1" Stucco, 2 in Polystyrene, create a material based
on resistance with a R-value of 6.0 to represent the effective R-value
of the steel studs plus batt insulation (Table A3.3), 5/8 in gypsum wall
board.

Subject: [Equest-users] Materials for baseline design

Hello all,

We are using eQuest for LEED and we are to create a baseline design of
our building. Characteristics for baseline construction materials
(walls,roof,floor, etc) must be equal to ASHRAE 90.1 (for our zone it is
table 5.5-6, p.24) data:

Roof - Insulation entirely above deck - U-0.048 / R-20.0 c.i.
Walls - Steel framed - U-0.064 / R-13.0+R-7.5c.i.
Slab-on-grade floors - unheated - F-0.540 / R-10 for 24 in.

Can anyone help to choose appropriate consructions/materials from eQuest
screen?
We are not sure what to choose as we are located in Europe and use
another parametrs and names.

Thank you!

Kseniya L.
