window heights, so that you end up with 40% glazing area. You would have to do
the math for what the final height would be, but I think that’s the quickest
way to back into the baseline model (other baseline parameters can be done this
way also). For example:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Hi Folks!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I've
got assigned in one project in eQuest which does not have LEED baseline model
and I’ve to create it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They
have already done the model for incentive from the local gas&electric
company which is very detailed and it’s in ‘Detail mode’ in
eQuest.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For
the LEED baseline, I need to create windows 40% of the wall area but here in
the model everything is according to the design (more than 40%windows)!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I
don’t want to go every single window and re-size them! </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is
there any shortcut way to reduce the window by multiplying ‘the’
fraction (40%/current window percent)?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To
be specific, I am looking for some help using
“if…then…else..if” or any other kind of function; that
way may be just creating a single global parameter the window area can be
reduced in a very less tedious way.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is
there any particular help-file to write parameter-codes in eQuest?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope
you understand my question.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks
for your time.</p>
