[Equest-users] Different zoning per floor

[Charles Land]

You have to make the two floors two separate shells and stack them on top of each other. You can do this by defining the x y z coordinates on the first page of the new shell.  You want to make the z coordinate on the second shell the same as the height of the first shell.  You will also want to define the roof of the first floor as below conditioned space and the foundation for the second as above conditioned space.

Subject: [Equest-users] Different zoning per floor

Hi folks

I am working on a two story office building, where the layout of the ground is not same like the layout of the first floor and accordingly the HVAC zoning varies from ground to first floor.

In the schematic wizard, I am facing a problem of defining different zoning for each floor, as the program copies the zones of the ground to the first and does not allow for editing the first floor zoning.

I managed to define different zones in the detailed design, by editing the copied zones in the first floor thru changing the vortices of each zone. This method took a considerable amount of time and was pretty confusing.

I was wondering first, if there is a way to define different zoning in the first and ground floor in the schematic wizard and second, if there is an easier way to change the zoning in the first floor during the detailed design.

Thank you in advance

Jamil
