Hello All -<br><br>I don't know whether I am understanding the R value input in eQuest in the way its supposed to be.<br><br>In the Building Envelope Constructions <b>(3-25) in the DD Wizard:</b><br><br>Construction: Custom, layer by layer construction<br>
<br>Layer-by layer: Arena Roof (name of the roof I have created)<br><br>In the layer by layer window I use the 'Specify Resistance' (under the spec method) option and insert the overall R value of the roof directly below in the box. <br>
<br>When I go to the.inp file, I see the following -<br><br>"EL1 Roof Construction" = CONSTRUCTION<br> TYPE = U-VALUE<br> U-VALUE = 30<br> ABSORPTANCE = 0.6<br> ROUGHNESS = 1<br>
<br>It says the U -value is 30 which is really low. Am I missing something here in understanding the U-value and R value. (I have inserted the r value as 30 not the U value)<br><br>Thank you for your comments in advance.<br>
