click any side of a shell

This sidesteps making any extra shells/systems and avoids

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">You have
the right
idea. Depending on the building of course, but I try to
lump the part you
aren't concerned about onto one AHU, and default everything
in that
portion. You are only concerned about the intersecting wall
and it's
condition. Add your other AHU's and zoning for the portion
you want to
work on. With the one extra AHU is makes it relatively easy
to back out
its numbers from the building analysis and you are left with
what you want.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m looking for recommendations of how to
model just
one section of a building in eQUEST. Three sides are exterior
walls,
while the fourth is connected to the rest of the building, and
therefore next
to a conditioned space. Would the best method be to just use
two separate
shells (1 – the building “wing” I’m analyzing, 2
– the rest of the building), although I’m only concerned with
one
of them? Is there a better way to do this? I’m hoping
someone
can point me in the right direction. <o:p></o:p></p>
