Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] how to input the width of strip of under slab insulation



I believe this will simulate 0.61m along the entire perimeter of the house.  I think this will place the outer edge of the insulation at the very perimeter of the house, then 0.61m toward the interior of the plan area.  I hope this helps.  I am not sure if you have looked at the documentation.  If not, check out the AuxillaryPrograms.pdf within the 'documentation' subfolder of the main install folder.  On page 81 of the pdf there is a nice drawing of the insulation configuration.

Good Luck

Dear Edwin   You are right, I can input the width in that field, but I don't know which value I should Input. In your example, the value is 0.61m. This value means which region is insulated ? I don't know how to define the width value? Could you tell me? Thanks very much

I think the width is there, in the insulation section. Here's what one of my previous files looks like:
!- =========== ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: INSULATION ===========
Insulation,
1.056, !- RINS: R value of under slab insulation {m2-K/W}
0.61, !- DINS: Width of strip of under slab insulation {m}
0, !- RVINS: R value of vertical insulation {m2-K/W}
0, !- ZVINS: Depth of vertical insulation {m}
0; !- IVINS: Flag: Is there vertical insulation
This is for 2 feet of horizontal insulation around the perimeter.

Dear all
I'm using the slab program to calculate the ground temperature. when I inputs the vaule of the width of strip of under slab insulation, I doesn't know how to input the width of under slab insulation.
My studing model is low floor radiator heating system, the whole under floor is insulated.
There only are SlABDEPTH(Thickness of slab on grade),CLEARANGE( Distance from edge of slab to domain edge),ZCLEARANGE( Depth of range below slab),pRatio( The area to perimeter ratio for this slab ) objects in the input file.
There aren't the width and leght of slab in this input file.
So I doesn't know how to input the width of strip of under slab insulation
Thanks for you attention
Lei Wang
