Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Transient simulation of building structure and indoor air



Mike and Ned,

Thanks for the information. This is what I want to
confirm. I understood that the transfer functin method
used in E+ is not appropriate for a lumped wall
temperature. The thermal network method can be used
for the wall temperature simualtion, but apparently it
is not included in E+. 

Regards,
Zhuo
