<p class=MsoPlainText>To follow up on the previous questions, I’ve wondered the
same thing – what if you want to assign multiple spaces to one zone in
eQuest? For example, two rooms are being supplied by the same VAV
box. They need to be created as two SPACES (on the “Building Shell” and
“Internal Loads” tabs) because of different internal loads, but then on the
“Air-Side HVAC” tab, both of the spaces need to be assigned to one ZONE.
Is this possible?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Instead of deleting interior walls, why not just convert
them do a different type? If I have a large open office with multiple
zones, I'll just set up all interior walls to be of type "Air".<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Here are the available wall types from the help file:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>INT-WALL-TYPE<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Specifies the type of interior wall through code-words
that identify the type of heat transfer that occurs across the wall.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>STANDARD
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The default. Designates an interior wall that separates
two spaces and conducts heat between the spaces. It can be defined with a
CONSTRUCTION with TYPE=U-VALUE or TYPE=LAYERS although the heat storage effects
of the wall are accounted for only if TYPE=LAYERS. If you choose a CONSTRUCTION
with TYPE=U-VALUE, the U-value should be less than 0.709 Btu/ft2-F-hr (4.02
W/m2-K), which is the limiting value for two air films and a very low
resistance solid layer. The NEXT-TO keyword is required for this wall
type. However, if the NEXT-TO space is the same as the space in which the wall
was defined, the program will change INT-WALL-TYPE to ADIABATIC.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>ADIABATIC
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Designates an interior surface that does not conduct heat
between spaces but can store heat. This type should be used to separate spaces
that are considered to be identical and are, therefore, defined with MULTIPLIER
or FLOOR-MULTIPLIER in the SPACE command. An example is the wall, ceiling, or
floor that separates identical spaces that are side-by-side on one floor of a
building or above one another in a multistory building. This type of wall
should have delayed construction.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>INTERNAL
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Designates an interior surface that lies completely
inside a space. An example is a water wall used to store solar energy in a
space. Another example is a wall between two rooms that are modeled as a single
space. This type of wall should have a construction with TYPE=LAYERS; in this case
the thermal mass of the wall will be considered in the space's custom weighting
factor calculation<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>AIR
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Designates a non-physical interior surface with no mass (i.e.,
an opening between spaces) across which convection can take place. This type of
wall should have a CONSTRUCTION with TYPE=U-VALUE. In this case, we recommend
an approximate U-value of 2.7 Btu/ft2-hr (15.3 W/m2). The NEXT-TO keyword is
required for this wall type.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>If the "AIR wall" is part of a daylit space,
its INSIDE-VIS-REFL values need to be specified (even though it is not a
physical wall) since daylight can be reflected back across the AIR wall from
the adjacent space. The values to use for INSIDE-VIS-REFL in this case are
determined as follows. Assume that the AIR wall, of area A, is defined in space
1 and separates space 1 and space 2. Let the spaces have inside surface area Si
(excluding the AIR wall) and area-weighted visible reflectance ri excluding the
AIR wall). Then INSIDE-VIS-REFL=(R2 , R1) where Ri is the cavity reflectance of
space i given by<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>
Ri = A * ri / (Si - (Si -A)*rI)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I have not received a reply to my previous question, so
here is a<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>simplified version of it: I see that everytime I create a
zone in the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Wizards, eQuest builds walls around these zones. Does
every zone (or every<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>space) need to have walls around? Would it be a problem
if I delete these<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>walls afterwards?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>For example, when I have a large open office, I would
like to have several<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>zones. So after the Wizard creates the building
description, I have to<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>delete all the walls around these zones.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Is this normal procedure?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
