<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This
sounds simple so hopefully somebody can help me out. I am trying to model
a simple rectangular space with a single rooftop HVAC zone and the roof as the
only exterior exposure. Every time I enter the space information on the
wizard and try to exit the wizard, the calculations are run and eQuest is shut
down without any mention of errors and no messages. This happens whether
I use the Schematic Design Wizard or the Detailed Design Wizard. It
creates a PD2 file, but this file will not work either. I have included
one of these files to show what happens. Can anybody tell me what I am
doing wrong?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
second question that I have is about walls. Most of our projects are
single tenant spaces with no exterior exposure on the walls. There is an
option to choose an adiabatic roof, but this option does not appear for
walls. I suppose I could just extend the footprint shape past the zone
footprint, but is there a cleaner way to do this?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
