[bldg-sim] Attached buildings in eQUEST

[Kevin Madison]

To the list -

There seems to be some discussion about simulating adiabatic walls in 
eQUEST. Using the eQUEST Schematic Design or Design Development wizard 
this is very easy to do. In the building footprint screen of the wizard, 
right click on any exterior wall and you will be able to identify that 
wall as entirely adiabatic, partially adiabatic (and what portion) or 
entirely exterior. This feature has been available in the general 
release of eQUEST for quite some time.

Unfortunately, this and many other useful features are not well 
documented due to our funding sources being primarily earmarked for 
feature development and enhancements. Recently, however, we have 
received significant funding to develop much better documentation for 
the eQUEST wizards, detailed interface, reporting modules and life cycle 
costing capabilities.

Additionally, the DOE 2 BDL and simulation engine is fully supported by 
the eQUEST detailed interface. From within the detailed interface, you 
can create INTERIOR-WALLs with INT-WALL-TYPE=ADIABATIC, which means the 
NEXT-TO assignment is not required. For more information on 
INTERIOR-WALL command, refer to the DOE 2.2 documentat, Volume 2 
Dictionary. Complete DOE-2.2 documentation is available from 
http://doe2.com/DOE2/index.html. See the bottom of the page.
