[Bldg-sim] Modelling in eQuest

[Eric Studer]

Hello Omer,

 

eQuest mainly cares about surface areas and the proximity of spaces does not
matter.  You could model the flats having multiple floors as one large flat
on one floor.  You need to be sure that the surface areas where there is
heat conduction are preserved.  This could make the 3D image look a bit
wonky but the numerical results should be fine.

Dear all,

 

I am stuck with the following problem in eQuest: I am trying to modell a
residential building with a number of flats in each floor, however, in the
middle of the building, there are duplex flats, meaning that a flat
stretches on two floors. So for example on the 3rd floor we would have 5
flats + half of a duplex flat, and on the 4th floor we would have again 5
flats + the other half of the duplex flat. 

 

I would like to model each flat in the building as a zone. How should I do
this now?

 

Thanks.
