[Equest-users] neighborhood effects of target building

[Nick Caton]

If it is a fair assumption the adjoining spaces are conditioned to the same or similar temperatures, you can assert there is not appreciable heat transfer to be concerned with.  If that's the case, you can specify adiabatic walls, or none at all.  That's the approach I would try to take if modeling only a single townhouse.

You can pull this off easily in the wizards by right-clicking the building perimeter walls in the second wizard screen and choosing 'adiabatic'

Hi everyone,

Would you mind I ask, when we simulate a townhouse, its both sides have an another townhouse.

It means, simulated house's wall don't contact with ambient temperature directly.

So, the eQUEST could consider this condition?

I have to build another two geometrical models next to this building, to meet this situation?

Thank you.
