[Bldg-sim] Infiltration on Exterior Wall

[Tony Kriel]

Energy Modelers,

I am in the detailed mode of eQuest and I would like to simulate reducing the infiltration on the exterior walls by half.  I would like to simulate this using the parametric runs feature.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

Basically, I was hoping to create a global parameter that would incorporate the following statement:
If "Exterior Wall", then "INF-FLOW/AREA"/2, else "No change"

However, I have not had experience using the global parameter feature and tying it into a parametric run and I'm not familiar with the syntax of eQuest.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
