<p class="MsoPlainText">On the footprint shape screen of the wizard (screen 2 of the DD shell wiz), if your floor-to-ceiling height is more than a foot lower than your floor-to-floor height, eQUEST will create a plenum space. Whether it creates a single plenum
for the floorplate or a plenum per zone depends on whether you HVAC system is ducted or plenum return.<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Everyone,<br>
<br>
I am new to eQuest. I am modelling a building having 5 above grade floors and 1 below grade or basement. I made floors with no exterior exposure roofs for basement and 4 floors (G +3). The roof of upper most floor is made by layer by layer construction. I have
given the floor to floor height and floor to ceil height.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="background:red">My problem is that there are no plenum zones in all floor as well as it is not showing any interior roof for all the floors except top floor.
</span></b><br>
<br>
Can anyone help me to find out what I am doing wrong?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Mayank<o:p></o:p></p>
