[Equest-users] eQuest training

[Chris Jones]

I don't mind the shapes.  It is just that I don't 
know how to get them from the electronic CAD drawings into equest successfully.

Perhaps the easiest thing would be to have the 
atrium be part of each floor - with "virtual" 
floors where there is no bridge. Then remove 
those "virtual" floors and revised the atrium 
polygon.  The example in this case used the 
atrium as the return air plenum with exhaust air 
heat reclaim in the winter and operable dampers 
top and bottom in the spring, summer, fall for free cooling when called for.
