Dear users I have some doubts about the way internal walls should be modeled precisely within Type56. If I consider an inside wall with heavy concrete on one side and significant insulation on the other side why should the area be doubled as specified in the documentation §5.2.4.2? Indeed only the heavy concrete face is really effective as a thermal mass. If I model the wall as a boundary wall (with heavy face exposed) with identical temperature I have quite different results whereas the thermal storage and release should not be so different than in the case of an internal wall. Thanks for your help -- Antoine Gautier |
