</div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all eQUEST user!<br>
I'm a bit confused about my input values inside the Wizard mode VS Detail mode.<br>
In "Building Envelope Constructions" window (3 of 25) I put an
Overall R-Value of 20 h-ft2-°F/Btu...<br>
But, when I go into the spreadsheet view (in Detail mode) and take a look at
the Constructions details, I see a U Value of 20 Btu/h-ft2-°F!?<br>
It's not realy the same thing!<br>
<br>
Did you know why the software does not make the convertion R to U value
correctly? Or is it my mistake? Should I put a U value when the software asks
me to put an R value in the Wizard window?<br>
<br>
Thanks to all and sorry for my poor English (it's not my first language) ! :-)<br>
<br>
Martin<o:p></o:p></p>
