<p class=MsoNormal>Sim List,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>                I
have a building with an underground space. I’m using eQUEST 3.62. I am
creating an AHSRAE 90.1 baseline building model. 90.1 requires a conductivity
of C-1.14 for underground walls in climate zone 4C. Even with bare concrete I
am unable to get the conductivity any higher than (0.847 Btu/h-SF-F).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>                Does
anyone know how to make this work?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
