[Equest-users] HVAC Systems, Roof Modeling

[Aulbach, John]

1) eQuest can TO create a package unit (DX cooling) with hot water coils
for heating. You can even do that in the Schematic Wizard.
 
2) I just created a 10 story shell. Only the top floor has a roof. Only
the top floor of ANY shell has a roof.
 
3) The BEST way to remove a roof is to finally convert to Detailed Edit
mode (you aren't going back to Wizard at this point), go into the .inp
file in the tree directory, and manually change the roof to a ceiling.

Hey all,

 

I have two questions: 

 

1)       I have packaged AC units for cooling, but hot water loop
heating.  The only way to select packaged AC units is to say there is no
heating, so I created another HVAC system just for heating.  It appears,
however, that you can only assign one HVAC system to each zone.  Has
anyone had this problem and/or know of a solution (how to have packaged
AC units yet also have hot water heating)?

 

2)       I used two shells for a five-story building: one shell for the
ground floor and another shell for the four upper floors.  Thus, I only
need one roof (above the fifth floor); does eQuest model a roof for
every floor in a shell?  If so, how can I make it model a roof for only
the top (fifth) floor?  

 

Thanks a lot,

 

     -Dan
