[BLDG-SIM] eQuest: Bi-Level Building Question

[Mike Casella]

Maren,

 

Being a new user myself I can only give you my experience with my own situation, which is similar to yours.  I had to model a multi-level school with different roof peaks and such.  The only way that I could make it work for me was to model each section of the building separate and then move them together in the building placement portion of the wizard.  This can only be done in the design development wizard (not sure if you knew that or not).  Let me know if I am being unclear.

Hello!

 

I am working on an eQuest model for a university building where one section is only one story, while another section is 2 stories.  Does anyone have any relatively quick solutions for modeling a building like this?  I have tried making one, 2 story building and then 'removing' the 2nd story zones as needed, but then can't seem to get the roofing to match up correctly (it has a 25° slope).  Also, the basement does not have the same footprint as the main floor and I am having problems getting the total building area to match up correctly.  

 

Since I am new to DOE-2 modeling, I don't quite have a great handle on anything outside of the wizards so any help or alternative solutions to this problem would be great!

 

Thank you,
