[Equest-users] How we can change interior floor reflectivity of the building model in the eQuest?

[Uday Gorre]

Dear Nimesh,
Select the emissivity of the surface and then use the below table for inside
film resistance value in surface construction> layers tab in terms of inside
film resistance that shows the reflectivity of the surface faces to inner
side of the space.

Uday Kumar
INSIDE-FILM-RES
Specifies the combined convective and radiative air film resistance for the
inside wall surface. The default of 0.68 hr-ft2-F/Btu (0.1198 m2-K/W) is an
appropriate value for vertical walls. For horizontal surfaces, such as
ceilings and floors, the suggested inside film resistance can be found in
Table 12 <JavaScript:TL_10732.HHClick()> . Because only one value is allowed
for each surface, you should decide which is more important, cooling or
heating.
For radiant barriers having a low-emissivity surface (for example, aluminum
foil or insulation with aluminum coating) facing the interior of the space,
select the emissivity from Table 13 <JavaScript:TL_10733.HHClick()>  and
then determine the INSIDE-FILM-RES value by interpolating the e=0.09, e=0.20
and e=0.05 columns of Table 12 <JavaScript:TL_10734.HHClick()> .

insidesurface emissivity.

>From 1997 ASHRAE Fundamentals, p.24.2
 
If you cannot decide which is more important, cooling or heating, you can
use the average of the heating and cooling values. For exterior walls and
roofs, the outside-film-resistance is calculated by the program depending on
wind speed. For interior walls, the air film described in INSIDE-FILM-RES is
the film on the side of the wall that is in the SPACE where the wall is
specified. For the calculation of the U-Value of an INTERIOR-WALL, the
INSIDE-FILM-RES is duplicated on the other surface (opposite side).

Subject: [Equest-users] How we can change interior floor reflectivity of the
building model in the eQuest?
 
Dear Friends,
 
I want to change interior floor reflectivity of the building model in the
eQuest. To do this I am opting to detailed edit model and going to " EL1IFLr
Construction " but there shows ext. colour ( abs).
 
So my question is - How we can change interior floor reflectivity of the
building model in the eQuest?
 

 
Can you please guide me?
 
Thanks,
