[Equest-users] ventilated or non-ventilated double skin facade

[Grando, John]

You can make the correct geometry of your building and then in the Detailed edit you can choose an interior wall on the project tree and right click on it.  You can select child component and click window.  You will be able to place the window manually.  I am currently working on this and I have an additional question for everyone out there.  I get the below error when i run a simulation.  Does anyone know how to correct this?


**CAUTION**********************************************************************

SUNSPACE INTERIOR-WALL EL1 Ceiling (G.S1.I4) has X=0, Y=0

it therefore may not be correctly positioned.

This may cause an inaccurate calculation of

solar radiation absorbed by the WALL.

Hi All,

I am a building façade consultant and use eQUEST to understand the energy efficiency for different glass wall types.
Does anyone know whether eQUEST has ability to simulate a double skin façade which is typically composed of exterior glass wall + 3ft air cavity + interior glass walls.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Kyoung Hee Kim
