[Bldg-sim] Radiant Slabs Modeling

[Leslie Jones]

I have been wondering about this too, currently we have been primarily using EE4 which is a DOE 2.1 based program . The modeling Guide recommends specifying the space as HEAVYWEIGHT. I suspect this could be the wrong approach as I suspect any radiant gains falling on the floor becoming a plant load quicker than for an air based system.

Option of course would be to use Custom weighting factors but not sure if there are any guidelines for radiant slabs

Dear All,

Am working on a project which has radiant slabs for cooling, I want to 
know how to model the same in e quest?
If possible send me some sample of pd2 file which has this tech modeled, 
for us to understand better.
Thanks in advance

Sincerely
