[Equest-users] daylighting in equest

[deepika khowal]

go to space-daylight-daylighting controls"yes"

to ans yr second question, u should use floor multiplier only when you have
identical floors(typically in high rise offices)
if you have different loads, activities per floor, then you should create
them different.

hope this helps.
