[Equest-users] wwr calculation

[PKConsulting]

It doesn't change for unconditioned or conditioned.  It is only a function of gross wall area (ft2) and window area (ft2).   Don't think too hard about this.  You are looking for a needle in the wrong haystack.   This one is straight forward with no tricks...

WWR is for whole bldg not space by space.

There is a summary page at the end of the lv-d report.  Look for the line called-'all walls'.  You can use those numbers to calc WWR percentage.
