[Equest-users] Compliance Ruleset Error

[Matt Clough]

Salutations!

I am following in the footsteps of many people before me.  I have scoured the archives and am having trouble finding a solution to the problem of compliance rulesets that do not properly acquire R,F,U,or C values.

More specifically, this error:

Table look-up failed: A901-07_Envelope(1,4) evaluating rule: Look-up and default C-FFACTOR for slabs

>From what I've read so far, I know it's because the F-Factor in the floor property is undefined, but I cannot manually enter the F-FACTOR from the ASHRAE table (A6.3).  I can only change the [Slab-on-Grade Exposed perimeter] and not the [Slab-on-Grade F-Factor].  I have found many instances of this and similar problems, but no adequate solution descriptions.

Can someone elucidate the cause of the error?  It seems that it is caused because the routine that imports the values for compliance analysis are imperfect and don't make all of the changes.

How can I resolve my issue?  I want to input an F-Factor per Table A6.3, but eQuest tells me that the data is not user editable.  Please Advise.

Regards,
Matt Clough
