<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am simply taking a building I have and running it through a minimalCompliance Run, just to understand how the T-24 ruleset works.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Does anyone know what the best file is to look at Ruleset errors?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have gotten through a few, but have no direction from the prompts on others.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And, YES, I have read the on line Help info.</DIV>

<TD><FONT size=3>[Equest-users] Multiple Floors with Multiple Roofs?</FONT></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR><FONT color=#004080 size=2 face=Calibri>I am modeling a building with 2-3 floors depending on where in the building you are. Each of the floors are somewhat different so I created 3 models and stacked them on top of each other. Once I got into the detailed mode I find that the program put a roof on each floor. I had incorrectly assumed that if I put one floor on top of another, then the program would recognize that it’s “roof” is adjacent to another floor and make it adiabatic while overhangs and extended roofs would keep their “roof label”. Do I now need to go through and delete all the roofs from the 1<SUP>st</SUP> and part of the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> floor? Or does eQuest not take them in on the calculation because it knows that it should be adiabatic since it has a floor above it?</FONT> <BR><FONT color=#004080 size=2
