Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] How to enter data for multi floor building



Hi,
You just need to give the right coordinates in the the zone object. Also, you'll need to take care of the outer surface type for the ceiling of the ground floor and the floor of the top floor. If the number of floors are more than 3, you can actually use a multiplier for the middle floor. The multiplier option is available in the zone class.

Hello,


I am trying to simulate a 4 floored building using EnergyPlus, I know how to enter data for just single floor building in Thermal zone surfaces: Building surface detailed in IDF editor, but i dont know how to do it for multiflored building in IDF editor, where do we get to enter information that how many floors does the building has or are we supposed to just keep on entering the co-ordinates or each surface without worrying about the fact that to which floor the surface belongs (the co-ordinate systems will take care of floors?), I am confused with this, can anybody please guide me, I am using EnergyPlus for the first time

Sincerely
Rohit
