RE: [EnergyPlus_Support]non-planar

Hello again,

isn't anybody out there how can answer my question? Please, I need the answer for my Masterthesis and I'm very despaired becaus time is runnig.

Best regards,

Bernd

Hello,

I have a similar problem like it is described below. I'm designing a
building with a complex geometry and so I have non planar surfaces
between the ceiling and the façade. How far will this effect the
simulation? Or can I ignore these minimal (between 0,137 and 1,505mm)
non-planar surfaces? I'm asking, because it would be very difficult to
straighten this out (for example divide them up into triangles),
because the surfaces are part of a thermal activated concrete ceiling.

Thank you for help.

Best regards,

Bernd Worm
