[Equest-users] WWR calculation by equest

[John Aulbach]

I agree with Carol. When you create a window in eQuest, it ALWAYS includes the frame.

Deepika,

I would think that the frame is included in the window area with just the wall in the wall area. My assumption would be backed up by the treatment of a the glass/frame as an entire window unit.

Hope that helps,

Carol
