[Equest-users] Glazing distributed uniformly in horizontal bands

[Bishop, Bill]

Steve,

 

I believe you are referring to the Addenda a - G4.1c to ASHRAE
90.1-2004. I have not reviewed all of the ASHRAE addenda, and the USGBC
requires an ASHRAE addendum to be applied to the entire LEED submittal
(per this document http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=2664),
so I have been sticking to 90.1-2004 without addenda. If anyone has an
opinion on whether or not to use the addenda for LEED, please share.

 

However, I also am doing modeling for New York State Executive Order
111, which requires me to use the modeling requirements from the Energy
Conservation Construction Code of New York State (ECCCNYS). New York
apparently has not gotten the "uniform distribution not required" memo.

 

Is there a list of all the DOE-2 commands somewhere? It would be helpful
for deciphering my .pd2 file.

 

Thanks,

Bill

Bill-

The uniformly distributed requirement has been changed.  You do not need
to do that anymore. As long as you have under 40% glazing you will not
need to change the area or locations of your glazing.  Hope that helps.

All,

 

I want to modify the windows in an existing model so that they meet the
uniformly-distributed requirement. I'm trying to do this in the wizard,
and I know I will lose data from the detailed edit mode, which I will
deal with. However, I already used the "custom window/door placement"
tab, and this seems to override my desire to use the % window method.
How do I "undo" the custom windows/doors? Modify the .pd2 file?

 

Bill
