<p style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:10.0pt; margin-left:0in"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">I am relatively new to e-QUEST, but was considering using it for my thesis. I am working on Passive Evaporative Cooling Towers.
I was thinking of taking a building prototype (office building) and running an e-QUEST simulation</span></p>

</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:10.0pt; margin-left:0in"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">My questions are:</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:0in; margin-left:.5in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-indent:-.25in">
<span style="">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span>I know e-QUEST has Evaporative Cooling, but can it be in a passive way?</p>
<p style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:10.0pt; margin-left:.5in; text-indent:-.25in">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black"><span style="">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">I was thinking of combing the UFAD as a distribution system for the cool air that comes out of the cooling tower, so does e-QUEST deal with UFAD?
</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:10.0pt; margin-left:0in"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">I’m still in the planning stage of my thesis, so if anyone has ideas or suggestions for a better way of going forward with this,
I’m open to them. All your tips will be very appreciated,</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:10.0pt; margin-left:0in"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">Thanks in advance,</span></p>
