[Equest-users] Green Roof - eQuest style

[CleanTech Analytics]

John,
I advise you to use a more modern software that has the ability to
correctly simulate the effects of a Green Roof rather then some wacky
eQuest work around. Professor David Sailor of Portland State
University developed
the Green Roof object for Energy Plus that uses a
a finite difference algorithm and works well. The problem with eQuest/DOE2
is that it is based on a conduction transfer algorithm, and can not really
emulate the effects of a Green Roof. If you need the easy to use inputs, I
suggest Design Builder to generate the Energy Plus file.

Best of luck, and feel free to ask if you need more about EP/DB..
