RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Thermal bridging and edge effects





As far As I know E+ doesn’t introduce this “intersection walls” effect.

The user must introduce it

Linear thermal bridges can be introduced in the following approach:

Introducing “small surfaces” (the same length , l, than thermal bridge and small width, w) defined as type “door” in “Fenestration: Surface Detailed object”.

The construction for this “virtual door” can be defined as only one layer construction using “Material: No mass object”, the thermal resistance for this “virtual material” must be recalculated in order to obtain the same thermal transmission

Y  *l = U * l * w

The Spanish CYPE interface introduces linear thermal bridges in this approach.

Asunto: [EnergyPlus_Support] Thermal bridging and edge effects

 

 

I know that E+ accounts for thermal bridging in glazed units.

Does anyone know how E+ accounts for 'edge losses', for example where a floor slab meets a wall and different locations can be specified for the insulation.

In Europe 'linear thermal transmittance' is popular, where an extra loss, proportional to the edge length and depending on the construction, is applied to the surface heat balance. I've had a look at the Engineering Reference but haven't found anything that seems to be applicable.

Many thanks,
David.
