I don't understand how the spandrels can be modeled as exterior walls since the exterior walls have a different u-factor and eQuest does not allow me to draw an exterior wall over an existing. I think I understand Nick's approach, but it seems that the spandrels are not placed in the appropriate location and will influence the angle of solar gain?<br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544286364405_7319"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544286364405_7130"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544286364405_7322"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544286364405_7130">To further complicate matters, this 5 story building does not have a plenum ceiling, the floor deck above is visible in the space below. <br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544286364405_7316"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544286364405_7130"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544286364405_7357"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544286364405_7130">I was able to successfully model the spandrels by using a different type of glass, then entering the U-factor by the simplified method and zeroing the Sc and reflectance.

<div class="yiv8546783115MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">I’ll toss some extra thoughts/experience into the pile:</span></div>

<div class="yiv8546783115MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544286364405_7903"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544286364405_7904">My preferred approach to handling large amounts of spandrel glass is to start by taking advantage of the wizards’ capacity to generate separate “plenum” exterior wall sections
(of height resulting from your ceiling inputs), to produce equivalent area to the spandrel glass on each orientation. Those separate sections are in part a by-product of the intent to distinguish the conditioned space/zone volume relative to the floor-to-floor
height, but we can repurpose them!</span></div>

to automate assigning “spandrel” vs. “normal” constructions to each exterior surface as a function of their Z coordinate (0 = normal wall, else spandrel construction).</span></div>
<div class="yiv8546783115MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1544286364405_7899"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></div>

capture cases where the spandrel actually extends below the ceiling line and ensure the conditioned volume is accurate around your perimeters. Be mindful that if the spandrel glass is largely incident on the conditioned volume it may be more appropriate to
move them off the plenum spaces and onto the occupied spaces. </span></div>

<div class="yiv8546783115MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">There is an aesthetic “downside” to this approach to consider (according to
<i>some</i> industry professionals I’ve worked with), but if someone *really* wants a pretty 3D model picture that looks like a fishbowl from the likes of eQuest (?), I’ll just add that you can generate some (apparently convincing) “forgery” of extra windows
by mis-using MSPAINT – the duct tape of my graphical tool belt. And yes, I sleep at night just fine, thank you.</span></div>

glass, make the exterior opaque surface equivalent to the spandrel sections as a defined opaque wall construction, and then add the vision glass to that – if you change the surface constructions in spreadsheet view it may not be that painful after all. The
painful part will be deleting all of the current spandrel sections that are now defined as the base wall.</span></div>

an opaque surface although this spandrel glass definition may be available to be selected…I’m not sure it would be an accurate choice. I wonder if it is a research entry that isn’t meant for the modeling public. Anyone used it?</span></div>
