Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Thermal Bridging

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all who responded with methods for determining the 
equivalent properties.  Whatever approach you take, do NOT describe 
the equivalent wall as just a single Material:Regular-R layer.  This 
would eliminate all mass effects.  You need to have some 
Material:Regular in your construction in order to model the thermal 
mass.
