RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] ventilated facades



You certainly don’t have to “implement code,” but you would have to dig into the text-based input file for EnergyPlus and do simulations outside of DesignBuilder.  You would need to modify the input file, using text editor or IDFEditor, to add input objects called Surface:HeatTransfer:ExteriorNaturalVentedCavity and Other Side Conditions Model.  These are explained in the Input Output reference.  These are for opaque facades, not glazed ones.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] ventilated facades

 

Dear team,

 

I am doing a simulation of ventilated facades using energyplus and desingbuilder. I know that energyplus have one method (ExteriorNaturalVentedCavity) to study ventilated facades, but I donʼt know is how I can do this in the energyplus, or if I have to implement the code.

I know that itʼs not possible to simulate this type of facades using desingbuilder, only using energyplus, but I know that I can export the building from desingbuilder to energyplus and then simulated the building using the method ExteriorNaturalVentedCavity, but I donʼt know how to use that method.

Can anyone help me with this?

 

Thank you,

 

Catarina carvalhal

 

P.S. sorry for the bad English
