[Bldg-sim] [Equest-users] Roof Conduction Load

Hi,

This happens because the load calculation is made with a fixed temperature
(see picture). All the spaces, include plenum zones, have the same
temperature by default (70°F). So, all roof load appears in the plenum
spaces. To considerate the roof load, you have to change this temperature in
plenum spaces and a part of roof load will appear like "internal surface
conduction". But I'm not sure if this is a good practice. Maybe someone else
has an opinion about that.

Hi All,

 

I am doing an energy simulation model in eQuest. I noticed that the load
through roof conduction in LS-C is zero where as in LS-B (for plenum space)
it is showing some load.
 
As per my understanding this load should appear in LS-C also.
Also, if I reduce the U value of the roof, the load through roof reduces and
can be accounted in LS-B only (plenum space).
 
Refer attached LS-C and LS-B reports.
Any help will be appreciated.
 
 
Thanks & Regards
