[bldg-sim] EQuest Question

["Ramana Koti" <ramana.koti@xxxxxxxxx>]

Matt,

1. You might have to use the "rectangular atrium" option in the wizard
when you are selecting a shape for your building. Then you can define
windows on the courtyard walls. 

2. For a wall to be an exterior wall, you have to create an exterior
wall (Though construction layers of an internal wall can be defined to
be similar to those of an exterior wall, DOE-2 treats interior walls in
a different way thermally as compared to an exterior wall)

Hope this helps, 
Ramana.

First Question:  How would you model a courtyard surrounded by classrooms and be able to place windows on the courtyard walls?

 

Second Question:  Is it possible to change an interior wall type into an exterior wall type?

 

Any help would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks,

Matt
