[Equest-users] Above Roof Canopy Modeling

[Nick Caton]

Here is another illustration shading a courtyard of sorts.  You're
looking at the dark grey rectangle in both examples.

 

I have a followup actually for others familiar with creating building
shades - are they any different in behavior from a window shade, or are
they the same thing simply defined in different ways?  More
specifically, do window shades shade buildings and can I define building
shades as a means of modeling multiple vertical fins/horizontal light
shades per window?

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.

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
