<div style="margin-bottom: 10pt; ">When upper floors of a building are not superimposing the lower floors, how is the exposed roof area situation modeled in eQUEST?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10pt; "> If I select “No exterior Exposure (adiabatic)” in roof construction at wizard stage, it will delete the whole upper layer of the roof as in the below image (left) and if I select exposed roof construction type at wizard,
it will lead to overestimation of exposed roof area as in below image (right).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10pt; ">Please let me know the best way to model exposed roof in this situation. If I go for separate building shell specifically for roof, will the model be correctly taking into account the conduction through exposed roof area?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10pt; ">Any comments will be appreciated.</div>
