<body lang=EN-US link=blue vlink=purple>
<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>Do any body know what is the DOE-2 function for “ROOF
CONDUCTION” Calculation or how DOE-2 calculate the roof loads in eQUEST?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I found that for some types of building because of the different
thickness of the roofs the “ROOF CODUCTION” would vary Between zero
or non-zero value. For example choosing 2 ft thickness lead to zero value but choosing
1ft lead to a non-zero value.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My question is despite we specify the R-value of the Roof,
why roof conduction will be zero in 2ft thickness even with low R?<o:p></o:p></p>
