<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I’m new to the use of E-quest, I’m just starting to play around with it by performing some preliminary simulations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The reason why I started using it is because of its feature of managing skylight properties: for a research project I’d like to simulate an “ideal skylight” solution, which could basically adapt its main properties
(VLT and SHGC) in order to minimize building energy consumption. I’ve seen there’s a very interesting “parametric run” tool, which can make me able to perform simulations with different values of these parameters.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">My question is: does E-quest support the possibility of writing a function which changes this values over the run itself with a rule set by the user? Or, at least, can I set different values at different times
of the day?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Thanks for your attention, <o:p>
