[Equest-users] 3.64 LEED Compliance Analysis - runningnotes/questions

[Nick Caton]

A quick heads up to anyone who hasn't tried this feature out yet:

 

If you have the choice, I'd advise anyone trying this out for the first
time to use a wizard-generated project created using eQuest 3.64.  Make
a point to utilize those zone occupancy allocation screens while you're
at it.  I'm cutting my teeth with this analysis tool on a finished
proposed model from 3.63, and it appears I am as such not able to take
advantage of some time-saving automation where it pulls that information
across from the wizards.

 

This is no fault of anyone else's by the way - the provided guide is
very helpful and useful... I'm just the sort of personality that decides
to build a furniture kit without referencing the instructions carefully
and later wonders what those leftover bits are for after the fact... =)

Subject: [Equest-users] 3.64 LEED Compliance Analysis -
runningnotes/questions

 

This question is specific to the new (3.64) LEED compliance analysis
within eQuest for generating baselines models:

 

Is there any means of bypassing assigning sub-occupancies to each space?
If, as a matter of course in developing the proposed model and
determining it's overall LPD, we should already have taken off all areas
and come up with a baseline LPD, may we ignore this assignment and
override with a calculated result?  That's my situation and I'd like to
avoid re-taking off all the areas within my established zones if
possible...
