[Equest-users] Radiant barrier in walls

[Joe Huang]

I don't think eQUEST, or more properly the DOE-2 engine underlying it, 
can model radiant barriers, at least not based on first principles, 
although it's always possible to equate it as a resistance layer.  Are 
you really talking about radiant barriers in walls ? I generally think 
of radiant barriers as something used in an attic to reduce radiant heat 
transfer between different surfaces.
