<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>1. Couldn't tell.There is some info about libraries in DOE22Vol4-Libaries, but it only covers envelope and lighting. I have struggled in the past to know the source of schedules and default values. But if you click on the question mark next for Jurisdiction (CA Title 24, ASHRAE 91.1, etc) you can get some insight:<br><br><h1>Building Location – Jurisdiction </h1>
<p class="MsoNormal">Name of jurisdiction which determines the source of the
defaults and selections available throughout the wizards.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:117pt">"ASHRAE
90.1" This selection invokes a USGBC LEED analysis (see <a>Energy Code Compliance Analysis</a>) and
invokes the ASHRAE 90.1 Climate Regions. Note that the wizard defaults remained
largely based on California’s Title-24 energy code.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:117pt">"CA
Title24" This selection invokes defaults based on California’s
Title-24 energy code, which was and remains the principle source of wizard
defaults.</p><br><br><br><br></div>2. This is likely because of the floor multiplier... If you have 10 similar floors, equest will create the bottom floor, a middle floor (its results will be multiplied 8 times), and the top floor. It's because all the middle floors have the same boundary conditions above and below, while the top floor has a roof and the bottom one a slab<br>.<br></div>3&4. You want to create multiple shells for that. You'll probably have to process it a little bit further once you exit the DD wizard to make sure the boundary conditions and constructions between shells are the way you want them.<br><br></div>Best,<br></div>Julien<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>--<br>Julien Marrec, EBCP, BPI MFBA<br>Energy&Sustainability Engineer<br>T: +33 6 95 14 42 13<br><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">LinkedIn (en) : <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/julienmarrec" target="_blank">www.linkedin.com/in/julienmarrec</a><br></span>LinkedIn (fr) : <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/julienmarrec/fr" target="_blank">www.linkedin.com/in/julienmarrec/fr</a></span><br><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/julienmarrec" target="_blank"></a></span></div></div></div></div>
