[BLDG-SIM] Trombe Walls eQuest Specific

[Brian Thornton]

eQuest uses DOE2.2, which has commands for sunspaces, and specific commands
for Trombe walls.  See DOE2.2 Volume 2 dictionary, page 141 and page 436.
DOE2.1e supplement gives more on how to use sunspaces, assuming the commands
didn't change completely in DOE2.2.  I can't vouch for whether these are
fully implemented in the eQuest detailed edit mode, or how well they work.

Renee,
Strangely enough, I am in the process of trying to do exactly the same
thing. Its not really possible, but you could try building an exterior wall
assembly with spandrel glass , ai gap and then your mass wall. 
We are also doing a cfd model (which should be more informative) with the
ARL lab in Penn state. 
 
Let me know if you find anything else that works in eQUEST. We should
compare notes.

	Greetings,
	
	Has anyone modeled a trombe wall in eQuest? The program seems to
want either
	a wall or a window. I know you can do this in other DOE2 programs.
And how
	can you determine the heating load from it in eQuest? Please let me
know if
	you have done this before or if you know how to?
	
	Thank you,
	
	Renee
