<p class="MsoNormal">Hi fellow equesters, </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any significance of the way of assigning overhangs
and vertical fins to the windows in eQUEST?</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In a project of mine, I have horizontal projections that are
very deep and continous on the façade. For ease of assigning overhangs, I put
the OA value and the corresponding OW value to only one window. The 3D model looks
as the real building would look. However the simulation results show difference
when I assign the OA and OW values respectively to each window on that façade. In
this case too, the 3D model looks same as the one before. Also while assigning the
overhangs to the window, we do not provide the material specifications to them.
Is there any way we can assign the materials to the overhangs of the window or
does it have any significance to our simulation results. I feel, in this case, there
shall be significant amount of radiant heat generated due to these deep overhangs, I would like to know,
does eQUEST consider the radiant heat and its impact on the space cooling
loads. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Secondly, does eQUEST consider the impact of solar radiation
on the height of the building? If we apply floor multipliers to the model
through the wizard mode, we see the 3D that is a direct understanding of the
building height. However, when floor multipliers are applied as a parametric
run to the simulation, the results do not seem to match. I have assured that
the other related input parameters are same in both the cases. Any takes on this?</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any help / suggestion is deeply appreciated. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you.</p>
