<DIV><SPAN class=460361420-08042009><FONT face=Univers size=2>I have a question
regarding eQuest space type inputs. I typically create zones in the Wizard
by tracing imported CAD drawings and zoning according to perimeter/core, same
HVAC system, similar loads or space types. However, when I get to the
Activity Area Allocation screen (screen 13 in the envelope wizard), I have to
assign a percentage of each space type to ALL the zones. Once in the
detailed mode, if I check a particular zone, it says for example Office
(67%). Can I change this?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=460361420-08042009><FONT face=Univers size=2>Is there a way to
assign each zone only one space type and over-ride this average area
blending business. It seems like a bad way to correctly account for
different space uses. I guess the more important question is: does it
really matter? I know eQuest allows you to assign space types either to
perimeter or core or both, so there was a conscious decision to allocate space
types based on perimeter and core and I understand the rationale since internal
and external loads are quite different. But why stop there? Why not
allow full flexibility to assign each zone a unique space
type? </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
