RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Furniture modelling

There isn't a requirement that the floor surface(s) cover the entire area of the zone, so if you want you can just shrink the floor surface to remove area.   

 

The entire floor can be broken up into different surface objects and different Constructions used for different portions.   If the furniture is in very close thermal contact with the floor (no gaps or air flow underneath), then you could model the presence of furniture by adding additional material layer(s) to the Construction.

Dear all
What would be the most adequate way to model furniture covering a 
percentage of the floor in a zone? I know I can use internal mass but, 
is there a way to account for the surface of the floor being reduced?

Thanks in advance,

Germán Campos
