I don't mind the shapes. It is just that I don't know how to get
them from the electronic CAD drawings into equest successfully.<br><br>
Perhaps the easiest thing would be to have the atrium be part of each
floor - with "virtual" floors where there is no bridge. Then
remove those "virtual" floors and revised the atrium
polygon. The example in this case used the atrium as the return air
plenum with exhaust air heat reclaim in the winter and operable dampers
top and bottom in the spring, summer, fall for free cooling when called
for. <br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">well chris, this is a thing that
we all were felt. but i think there are others applications to do or make
weird shapes better. i do my models with IES-VE, and revit and sketchup
plugins work quite good for those annoyances shapes, with bridges,
corridors, 2storey halls, etc. but i'm sure of, perhaps, in new equest
releases this issue would be complemmented with similar plugins; it
should be!<br><br>

<dd>I do am self taught in equest but I had years of DOE2.1e
experience. The only course I would find helpful is the very
beginning of the model - reading the CAD floor plans into equest.
<br><br>
<dd>I have never been able to bring in successive floors that have a
different floor plate - changing size - smaller or larger (floor
overhangs). The situation I have absolutely no idea about is a
building with a multi-storey, central atrium with "bridges"
between the two sides of the atrium - corridors between each side.
<br><br>
<dd>I have never been able to find a course that specializes in weird
geometry situations. <br><br>
<dd>I just give up and go back to DOE2.1e where I can define the model
without all that annoying 3-D x,y,z to have to contend with. It
makes nice pictures in the end but doesn't to a whole lot for
productivity - at least in my case. <br><br>

<dd>Dear community,<br><br>
<dd> i´m interested in <br>
<dd><a href="http://energy-models.com/training/equest-leed-case-study">
http://energy-models.com/training/equest-leed-case-study</a> training,
but i´m not sure if it worth.<br><br>
<dd>I do not have experience on equest modelling but I do so on IES-VE
modelling, so, if <br>
<dd>I have that experience, it would be necessary to do a training, or
perhaps It would worth to take my own risk?<br><br>
<dd>any comments?<br><br>
<dd>best.<br>
