Amandine,
We have had success (with a ventilated facade DSF configuration) using
an approach similar to what you're proposing. The challenge with it and
other configurations depends on the interaction of the DSF and the
building spaces. We coupled eQUEST, TRNSYS, COMIS, and wind tunnel test
data to achieve what seems to be a reasonable solution, especially for
the purposes of a cost analysis and LEED documentation.
Regards,
Paul

Dear all,
I am modelling a building with Equest and I would like to know as
Equest is not so efficient modelling passive system if I can use
EnergyPlus for the double-façade only and after add the results of E+ to
the one of Equest.
Thanks
