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..
