Hi,
I’m currently working on learning energyplus. I seem
to be accruing a good amount of questions, which I can’t find answers to
in the documentation, or this list so far, so I’d really appreciate it if
some of you can help me out.
Is there a report variable for the surface areas and the
zone volume? These things seem like they would be helpful.
I’m trying to better understand the energy balance on
the inside and outside of the heat transfer surfaces, but I can’t find
the report variables that add up to zero for energy conservation. Conduction
into the inner surface of the wall should balance with radiative and convective
at the surface. There seems to be something about shortwave and longwave
radiation and I can’t find a variable for the longwave radiation. I also
couldn’t figure out the balance at the outside of the wall.
I personally think that the inside surface conduction
variable is a very telling variable about how much heat is going into the wall.
Is there a way to get conduction into the outside of the surface, thus showing
energy storage in the wall?
I hope someone can help and appreciate your time.
Thanks,
Lee
