You can model this wall by creating two different walls at two different heights in the Detailed Edit mode of eQUEST. If you want to follow this path, I would recommend looking at the DOE2.2 Dictionary which is available on the eQUEST download page for details on how the geometry of exterior walls is defined. However, I think it would be much simpler to calculate the average R-value for the wall and stick with one wall type. I think that the differences in building loads and results would be very minor in either case.
