It should not make that much of difference unless your walls are rally thick.   I suggest you trace the outside wall and then make sure of the wall thermal properties.

Hello,

Can someone please help me with this:

I have an AutoCAD file of an old home that was retrofitted with thick (insulated walls). When I import this file and trace it to define the building footprint on eQuest,should I be tracing the OUTSIDE of the building (the brick face) or the INTERIOR of the building (the interior walls)? or should I draw a line in the middle of them and use that as my building footprint?

do you know the wall construction goes INWARD or OUTWARD from the building footprint you set?

thanks,

maria
