[Equest-users] to use a multiplier or not to...

[Supriya Goel]

Hi Vikram

Yes Hamlet did use eQuest and so did Macbeth...

As for the windows, I found this on the help menu, I'm sure it'll answer
your question-
Use of Multipliers on Windows and Exterior Walls

If an exterior wall in a daylit space has a number of identical windows, the
windows should be entered separately rather than using MULTIPLIER (which
would give an incorrect illuminance calculation since individual windows
would not be positioned correctly on the wall).  Similarly, for a daylit
space, MULTIPLIER should not be used on any exterior wall that contains a
window.

Regards
Supriya
