Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re:Parametric envelope studies

Hello,

I am doing a similar work for the Italian context.
Most of the previous studies has been done about envelopes performance were
done with Doe 2, which I think is different then EnergyPlus.
As you already know, ventilation, heat gain protection and dispersion are
the main factors.
Thermal mass: in my studies I am surprise because I was thinking that would
perform better than what simulations says, for example in south of Italy has
summer benefit giving not more then the 5% benefit on cooling loads compared
to a light wall having same insulation. I think Doe2.1 is overestimating the
mass benefit or from another point of view EnergyPlus is minimizing those.
Do anyone have an idea about that?
Thanks
Emanuele
