[Equest-users] SD or DD?

[John Aulbach]

Ju-Yeon:

You need to be in the DD Wizard to create different floor footprints. The SD Wizard only allows a single footprint.

I would start in the SD Wizard, getting all of your window/wall roof constructions, general hours of operation, and system type (s). Not knowingwhat your zones will look like, I would set the zoning pattern to one zone per floor (for now).

Once this is set up, then change to DD Wizard to start creating your unique floors. Then you can uniquely set put your zones on a floor by floor basis.

Do you mean EVERY floor footprint is different from the others? This is a very unusual building.

Subject: [Equest-users] SD or DD?

Hello everyone I am new to eQUEST and have a question about what to use.
 
The building I am working on has 9 storeys and each single floor footprint is different.
 
The first three floors are part of a podium building and the rest is office.
 
In order to create different footprints and finish all the rest of the eQUEST inputs,
 
1) do I have to build a first floor on the SD wizard and finish all 40ish pages, AND THEN go to the DD wizard 
 
creating new shells for the rest and new HVAC systems, or
 
2) do I just go the the SD wizard from the beginning to create all different building footprints?
 
Thank you for your help:)
