<div dir="ltr">Dear list,<div><br></div><div>I googled a bit for this problem and didn't find anything immediately so here goes. I am working on a building that has huge computer systems that cause 40% of kWh to go to process loads. In order to meet LEED goals the owners went for a server/terminal solution where there is a 920W server and 19x75W terminals instead of 19x270W desktops. When I apply this as an exceptional calculation the models go from 12 points to 20 points which looks like it will raise flags.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My questions is:</div><div><br></div><div>Does this situation sound like something a reviewer would go for as an exceptional calculation?</div><div><br></div><div>Do I model the baseline and proposed identically with the higher process load or the lower one?</div>

<font size="+1">There is a good pos<font size="+1">sibility you have

correctly in the DD wizard. I just put the
windows in as a percentage of the wall area
and finish the wizard. I also keep lots of
copies, lol, you never know when something
crops up. As you will find with your copy
going back into it will probably delete your
detailed window<font size="+1"> input. Hence
the reason I never do it until I'm sure
everything else is correct. Basically a 30
second place holder to keep the wizard
happy. Doing this allows me to go back into
the wiz<font size="+1">ard and keep making
adjustments and finding errors until I'm

have nothing to lose you can do this
for days.<br>
The DD wizard is a great, easy
interfac<font size="+1">e to use. You
may be able to solve your problem in
the detailed edit area but it is
several magnitudes more difficult if
you are a new user<font size="+1">
or even an experienced one. The

Subject: Re: [Equest-users] Exterior Windows misplaced<br><div dir="ltr">Thank you for the pointer! I have attached the requested files. As you will be able to see if you go into the custom windows editor, I have input a row of windows on the western-most wall, but when you go back to the 3D view they appear on the northern end of the east elevation. There are also windows on the northern wall adjacent to the western-most wall that are gone and i'm not certain where they disappeared to. There are a few more issues with misplacement, but I'm sure if one can be figured out it will likely solve the problem for all of them. <div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for the pointer! I have attached the requested files. As you will be able to see if you go into the custom windows editor, I have input a row of windows on the western-most wall, but when you go back to the 3D view they appear on the northern end of the east elevation. There are also windows on the northern wall adjacent to the western-most wall that are gone and i'm not certain where they disappeared to. There are a few more issues with misplacement, but I'm sure if one can be figured out it will likely solve the problem for all of them. <u></u><u></u></p>

</div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">I am very new to eQuest and am working on completing my very first model. I imported a .dwg file to set up the building footprint and zones and have begun on exterior elevations. I have been inputting my exterior glazing using the "Custom Window/Door Placement..." option in the DD Wizard. I have all the windows input correctly, but when I back out and go to the 3-D view of the building, some of the windows are on the wrong walls, and some I am not seeing at all (unless they are 'doubling up' on one of the other walls). I am not sure if I have made an error in the earlier stages of constructing the model thus far, or if this is some type of glitch. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any advice?</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">I have seen that I can go in and change the parent wall for the misplaced windows in the detailed edit mode, but would just like to figure this out for future models going forward.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
