[Equest-users] Above Roof Canopy Modeling

[Shinn, Kim]

Reniel:

What you need is an exterior shade.

In detailed edit mode, go to Building Shell and select Fixed Shades (or a Building Shade, depending on whether you want the shade to be attached to the building - as it rotates, for instance).  A fixed shade remains fixed in space.  This is a good way to model adjacent buildings.

Right click on Fixed Shade and go through the dialog boxes.

Subject: [Equest-users] Above Roof Canopy Modeling

Hi to All,

We are modeling 3 buildings interconnected with each other.
A large canopy is covering the roof of the buildings and partially shading the courtyard within these buildings.

Can we model this canopy in eQuest? How?
Can we model its effect on the cooling load of spaces facing the courtyard?
We are expecting that solar heat gain will be lower on fenestrations of the rooms/spaces facing courtyard due to shading compared to perimeter spaces facing outside the development.

Thanks in advance.


Reniel
