[Bldg-sim] eQuest - ASHRAE Window Standars

[Katherine Louman-Gardiner]

Hi

I'm in the process of building an eQuest model to compare to an AHRAE
one. 

According to the ASHRAE guidelines, windows must be distributed evenly
along each of the four sides of the building.  Our building is a complex
structure, with very different heating zones.  (We have  a large garage
that will not be heated/cooled to the same temperature as the adjacent
office space).

It seems like we will gain an advantage when comparing our proposed
design to the ASHRAE one, by putting windows in an area that won't be
heated as much.  Has anyone encountered a similar situation?  How did
you deal with it?

 

Thank you,
