[Equest-users] Multi-story Loads

[Alex Krickx]

Hi all,

I'm constructing a building that has a double height central section with glass along the perimeter which allows large amounts of daylight into the space. I'm going to run some EEM analyses to determine which glass packages optimize performance.

I've followed what I found in the archive about making the top shell "open to below" and the bottom shell "multi-story".

My question is: What is the most appropriate way to model the atrium zone loads? Currently it's "unconditioned" (as air is supplied below the atrium) and I want to remove all of the loads that eQUEST defaulted in.

I have attached the PD2 and INP files. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks!
