[Bldg-sim] Per 90.1, mass wall or steel-framed wall?

[Chris Baker]

Ramana,

 

Per Table G3.1 section 5b, the baseline is always a steel-framed wall
for Appendix G modeling. So you get to take credit for additional
thermal mass.

Dear all,

 

For a LEED EAp2/EAc1 energy model, does the following above-grade wall
situation fall under a mass wall or a steel-framed wall in the baseline?

 

8" CMU wall (load bearing) with steel studs to the interior just to
create a cavity for the batt insulation etc.

 

Thanks,

Ramana Koti.
