[BLDG-SIM] Modeling Thermal Mass in eQUEST

[Ryan Hammond]

All,

 

We're trying to model thermal mass effects on load shifting for a
non-residential building for the Savings By Design program.

 

Title-24 references tables for thermal mass savings for low-rise
residential depending on the constructions present.  From my
understanding, EnergyPro follows the ways of the T-24 energy code, and
really doesn't model thermal mass for what it is.  

 

I know eQUEST requires the "Layers Input" for the program to assign a
mass to the construction (and not the "U-Value Input").  

 

Does eQUEST also reference tables (similar to the T-24 energy code), or
are there some genuine calculations made?

 

Thanks again,

R. Ryan Hammond, LEED(r) AP
