<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>After
the Wizard Mode is completed, construction layers are formed for the various
external surfaces based on the designated insulation and construction types.
What does the “self-named” material correspond to (such as material
“E2 EWall Cons Mat 2 (0.91)”)? I would assume that depending on the
framing or construction method, equest would generate a derating factor to
account for discontinuities in insulation, etc. However the
“self-named” material improves the overall u-value for the
composition. What does this layer correspond to and can it be omitted when
redefining the layers in Detail Mode? Thanks in advance for your help.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
