Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Sub surfaces, Thermal bridges
Josep:
Since EnergyPlus only models 1-dimensional heat transfer, you must
use some other method to determine the effective resistance
accounting for the thermal bridge. Once you know this, you can
introduce it into EnergyPlus by either adjusting the resistance of an
entire exterior surface to reflect an appropriate effective
resistance, or you can break the exterior surface into two parts. A
small part with a low resistance representing the area adjacent to
the thermal bridge, and then a larger area using the normal wall
construction representing the rest of the exterior surface.
