HAP v4.22 Model Question Inner Courtyard
HAP v4.22 Model Question Inner Courtyard
(OP)
Hi,
I am designing a new 20 000 sq. ft single storey building with different roof slopes and an inner courtyard. We are going to use multiple roof-top units. Nothing too complicated from a load calc. point of view. For this reason, I want to use this project to use HAP for the first time.
I was wondering if HAP will be able to model an interior courtyard and account for shading effect of the sloped roof will have on the walls adjacent to the inner courtyard?
Thank you for the input,

Of course, if you're doing this for LEED or anything else that requires ASHRAE 90.1 appendix G, be prepared to defend your work.
eQuest is much more flexible, but I'm not sure if it can accomodate a couryard directly or not... Maybe someone else knows.
One other comment: If you've paid for HAP, e-mail tech support. They're super. If there's a way around it, they will know it. Here's the HAP 4.2 manual, by the way:
