[Equest-users] Reduction of window area in detail mode!

[Mark Nieman]

I believe you could create a parametric run that redefines the window
heights, so that you end up with 40% glazing area. You would have to do
the math for what the final height would be, but I think that's the
quickest way to back into the baseline model (other baseline parameters
can be done this way also). For example:

Subject: [Equest-users] Reduction of window area in detail mode!

 

Hi Folks!

 

 

I've got assigned in one project in eQuest which does not have LEED
baseline model and I've to create it.

They have already done the model for incentive from the local
gas&electric company which is very detailed and it's in 'Detail mode' in
eQuest.

For the LEED baseline, I need to create windows 40% of the wall area but
here in the model everything is according to the design (more than
40%windows)!

 

I don't want to go every single window and re-size them! 

Is there any shortcut way to reduce the window by multiplying 'the'
fraction (40%/current window percent)?

To be specific, I am looking for some help using "if...then...else..if"
or any other kind of function; that way may be just creating a single
global parameter the window area can be reduced in a very less tedious
way.

Is there any particular help-file to write parameter-codes in eQuest?

 

Hope you understand my question.

Thanks for your time.

 

 

 

Best,

Aru
