[EnergyPlus_Support] Internal mass

["alexandrevarela2000" <amv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I´ve simulated a building's internal mass like this:

1)Internal partitions as InternalMass (construction type Plywood)
2)Internal partitions as InternalMass (construction type brick wall)
3)Internal partitions modeled as walls (actual surfaces and not 
internal mass) and using solar distribution FullExterior 
(construction type brick wall)
3)Internal partitions modeled as walls (actual surfaces and not 
internal mass) and using solar distribution FullInteriorAndExterior 
(construction type brick wall)

The results regarding these situations didn´t change that much, which 
doesn´t seem right. On the other hand changing mass properties for 
external walls, roofs or floors does have a large impact on results 
(specially floor mass).

Could this be E+ software related, or is this relating only to the 
building's physics?

If you think it helps I will upload the base model.

Thank you very much,
Alexandre
