[EnergyPlus_Support] Construction

[john_lee68@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,
I have a question which may not be directly related to this list but I will appreciate help or some guidance from the list members. I would like to know about the different construction types, for example, the constructions defined in ASHRAE90.1- Mass, metal buildings, steel-framed. I am basically interested in knowing the construction layer information. ASHRAE90.1 table only define the assembly U value but does not list the layers (materials)  used to construct this assembly. In other words where can I find the information related to the constructions defined in various table in ASHRAE90.1. Is the layer composition fixed for, say, steel-frame buildings? If yes, where can I find this information?  Any suggestion or help will be highly appreciated..

thanks

John
