[BLDG-SIM] HELP FOR EQUEST SIMULATION FILES (.PH.D)

[Brandon Nichols]

Anurag,

You may find my post on creating eQuest multilevel spaces (atriums)
helpful...

l 

There seems to be an unresolved question on whether eQuest can simulate
the benefit from daylighting for interior zones adjacent to atriums.  If
the benefits from daylighting is part of your analysis, a couple of
suggestions:  

* Assure interior spaces adjacent to atriums are designated as
"sunspaces"  
* Use the 3.61 version of eQuest, which has enhanced support for
skylights, light wells etc.

Hope that helps...but if you're still having trouble with atriums,
e-mail me directly.

Dear friends,

I am a research scholar doing my research on Green building Index of
hospitailty buildings through life cycle assessment of Embodied and
operational energy of eveloved design patterns of the hotel block. (
Department of Architecture, School of Planning and Architecture, New
Delhi India)

I have evolved 7 simple Design patterns, each identical in floor area,
number of floors and material specifications.
I have been able to simulate 5 patterns in equest, but am unable to
create file for balance two patterns. A) Pattern with an atrium and
rooms facing towards the atrium. B) Pattern with an Atrium and rooms
facing outwards. These are also very simple blocks, but I am unable to
do the zoning for the Atrium.

Can anyone has time to help me create file in equest  for these two
patterns, so that I am able to simulate for operational energy of these
two patterns for different climatic zones and orientations.

I shall be grateful to anyone one who can help me create these two files
in equest.
This will help me a great deal in finalising my ph.d research work.

Thanks and regards

Anurag Roy
