[Equest-users] Understanding Floors model attachment

[Peter Hillermann]

I pulled the shades in from another program. I would die if I had to do all
that in eQuest. Would take hours. My modeler is Ecotect because I do light
and solar studies. Once Ecotect catches up with eQuest on HVAC modeling it
will be all good. Unfortunatley it uses the UK SBEM HVAC profiles. The LEED
ones are grayed out so Autodesk is not quite there yet. Ecotect + eQuest is
also cheaper than IES, especially if a person's salary depends on it.
Ecotect is a great passive modeler you can test building envelope before
touching HVAC.

Peter, 

 

At the end of the day, stuff like this can be really tricky to discuss!
Rest assured, anyone getting offended/slighted as we stumble around helping
trying to each other can find other mailing lists to peruse if it should
bother them so much =).  I enjoy helping others in this "public" fashion, in
part because it gives me an opportunity to be corrected and learn others'
perspectives - I know I've turned out better for it!

 

As a tangent, I see from your attachment what appear to be some wicked
building shades - did you painstakingly define those piece-by-piece, or have
you figured out some holy-grail technique of importing geometries as shades
from some other program?  If that's the case and you're at liberty to share,
I'd be very keen to get pointed in the right direction!

Sorry I forgot to attach my model because I was embarrassed that my comments
might offend someone.
