[Equest-users] Materials for baseline design

[Daniel Knapp]

The Rocky Mountain Institute has a lovely set of modelling tools for eQuest, and they include a text file with ASHRAE baseline constructions that can be copied and pasted into your .inp file.  Their file also includes reset schedules for the CHW and HW loops and some other useful tidbits.  

The link is:  http://www.rmi.org/rmi/ModelingTools

All the best,
Dan

> You can create custom constructions with the following layers. You will need to adjust the thickness of the insulation layers slightly to achieve the exact U-factor (inverse of overall R-value), but here is a good starting point:

> Roof (see A2.2.1): Built-up roofing, Polystyrene 4 in (R-5/in)
> Walls (see A3.3.1): 1" Stucco, 2 in Polystyrene, create a material based on resistance with a R-value of 6.0 to represent the effective R-value of the steel studs plus batt insulation (Table A3.3), 5/8 in gypsum wall board.

> We are using eQuest for LEED and we are to create a baseline design of our building. Characteristics for baseline construction materials (walls,roof,floor, etc) must be equal to ASHRAE 90.1 (for our zone it is table 5.5-6, p.24) data:
>  
> Roof - Insulation entirely above deck - U-0.048 / R-20.0 c.i.
> Walls - Steel framed - U-0.064 / R-13.0+R-7.5c.i.
> Slab-on-grade floors - unheated - F-0.540 / R-10 for 24 in.

> Can anyone help to choose appropriate consructions/materials from eQuest screen?
> We are not sure what to choose as we are located in Europe and use another parametrs and names.
