Also, if you remove the plenum at the top, the roof conduction should be affected to the conditioned spaces directly. </FONT></SPAN></P>

My baseline model shows the roof<BR>> U-value to be 0.026 and my parametric run to have a roof U-value of 0.019<BR>> (report LV-I). However, there was no change in heating and cooling energy<BR>> usage. I then looked at the building peak load components (report LS-C) and<BR>> noticed that there are no roof losses for either run.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> So the main question I have is; why are there no roof conduction losses?<BR>> Have I incorrectly modeled something or is there an issue with pitched roofs<BR>> and conduction losses in Equest. I have attached the pd2 and inp files for<BR>> these runs for anyone's review.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Any help would be greatly appreciated.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Thanks,<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Tony Kriel, LEED AP<BR>> <BR>> Mechanical Engineer<BR>> <BR>> tkriel@sustaineng.com<BR>> <BR>> (608) 231-9664 ext. 16<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Sustainable Engineering Group, LLC.<BR>> <BR>> 431 Charmany Drive, Suite 102<BR>> <BR>> Madison, WI 53719<BR>> <BR>> www.sustaineng.com <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <mailto:tkriel@sustaineng.com> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> -------------- next part --------------<BR>> An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<BR>> URL: <http://lists.onebuilding.org/pipermail/equest-users-onebuilding.org/attachments/20081117/742b7015/attachment.htm><BR>> -------------- next part --------------<BR>> A non-text attachment was scrubbed...<BR>> Name: Reports.pdf<BR>> Type: application/pdf<BR>> Size: 57583 bytes<BR>> Desc: not available<BR>> URL: <http://lists.onebuilding.org/pipermail/equest-users-onebuilding.org/attachments/20081117/742b7015/attachment.pdf><BR>> -------------- next part --------------<BR>> A non-text attachment was scrubbed...<BR>> Name: CFCU Proposed - 1.inp<BR>> Type: application/octet-stream<BR>> Size: 252214 bytes<BR>> Desc: not available<BR>> URL: <http://lists.onebuilding.org/pipermail/equest-users-onebuilding.org/attachments/20081117/742b7015/attachment.obj><BR>> -------------- next part --------------<BR>> A non-text attachment was scrubbed...<BR>> Name: CFCU Proposed.inp<BR>> Type: application/octet-stream<BR>> Size: 252230 bytes<BR>> Desc: not available<BR>> URL: <http://lists.onebuilding.org/pipermail/equest-users-onebuilding.org/attachments/20081117/742b7015/attachment-0001.obj><BR>> -------------- next part --------------<BR>> A non-text attachment was scrubbed...<BR>> Name: CFCU Proposed.pd2<BR>> Type: application/octet-stream<BR>> Size: 50552 bytes<BR>> Desc: not available<BR>> URL: <http://lists.onebuilding.org/pipermail/equest-users-onebuilding.org/attachments/20081117/742b7015/attachment-0002.obj><BR>> <BR>> ------------------------------<BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Equest-users mailing list<BR>> Equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org<BR>> http://lists.onebuilding.org/listinfo.cgi/equest-users-onebuilding.org<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> End of Equest-users Digest, Vol 8, Issue 18<BR>> *******************************************<BR></body>
