[Keith Swartz]

Patrick,

eQUEST accounts for wind with most of the infiltration methodologies. From the Help screen...

Subject: [Equest-users] Taking into account wind on building surface

Hey All,

I was hoping someone could clarify whether or not eQuest takes into account the wind load placed on the exterior surface of the building.  I know that the direction, speed, and temperature of the prevailing breezes are included in the weather file, but am unsure as to whether or not this data is included on heat transfer through the building envelope.

The case in point is a large facade directly aligned with the winter prevailing breezes of our site and whether or not this heat transfer is being accounted for on the surface.

Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
