[Equest-users] Floor plan question

[Stephen Parker]

Dear all, 

I am a student beginning to learn how to use eQuest and after creating a few simulations of some houses, a few questions have arose. First of all, is it necessary to model the entire floor plan, as in every room and corridor with, or is it only necessary to model the shell of the building in order to maintain a high accuracy? The house I am working with now is two stories but has a single heating system with one thermostat. It is heated with hot water baseboards throughout the house, which is heated by an oil furnace. 

Also, the exterior walls of this house are made of 20 inch thick limestone. Is there a away to custom model exterior wall materials in this program? 

Thanks for your help,
