Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Does the area of the quivslab equal to the building floor?

[wei xiao <basill_xw@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mike!
Thanks very much for your help.
If my simulation building is not foursquare,especially the rate of length to width is big,  the EquivSlab result maybe not accurate.So I want to know weather the slab.exe can solve this kind of problem. If it's yes, how to define the input files? 
By the way, where can I  get more SlabExample.idf files?

 the building perimeter length.
