eQuest is a program which will handle pretty much any building
that can be conceived. This does require some adjustments to be
done by the program operator to make the program conform to what
you are doing with it. In your case you want to delete the
roofs which aren't roofs. Be careful, you still need a floor
and you also need eQuest to recognize the 2 thermal spaces are
adjacent to each other. All that you need is in the program.
My time is too short to do a full walk through but there is many
examples in the archives. I believe Nick Canton did a very nice
run explanation on this.<br>
One handy benefit of this is when you have a building that has
floors which don't line up, ie partial roofs. It is easier to
put the roof in and then delete the parts you don't need later.
Lol, not quite as easy and clean as that but you get the drift.
That is in the archives too.<br>
Everyone has to remember computers and software have zero
intelligence, they are as dumb as a post. What makes them
useful is the skill of the operator. eQuest takes a huge amount
of skill to operate. As the eQuest basher said yesterday it can
be deceptively simple. It is not, you have to check everything
to make sure it is configured to match your model and that you
haven't made an error that is giving you bad results. If you
put crap in you are going to get crap out.<br>

<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I build a model as a whole shell, say 5 floor, the
simulate results show: only the top floor roof is the whole
building roof.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But if I build this 5 floor building one floor by one floor,
setting like: "position this shell: immediately above", the
results show: every floor surface adds together is the whole
building roof.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, the amount of heat loss from the roof will be different.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Could anybody tell me the reason?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you.</div>

<div> 学长，有个东西请教下呀。<br>
我一起建一个5层的大楼模型的时候，只有顶层哪个是roof。<br>
<br>
但是这次，我一层一层建的，就是第一个界面上设置position this shell: immediately above, 因
为每层room plan不一样。最后结果显示，每一层的的roof加在一块是整个roof。 <br>
<br>
我觉得equest把每层的这个roof热损失都算进去了，这样子是不正确的吧。<br>
怎么回事呀？<br>
<br>
谢谢学长。 </div>
