RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: maximum allowed values for green roof inputs`





Hi Linda,

 

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the program fails with severe error for both thickness and conductivity.

I think that this is an unreasonable restriction since the thermal properties of moist soil often exceed that conductivity value.

Is it possible to get a patch and I am willing to do some testing on the outputs before you officially release it in the future?

 

Thanks,

Georgios

If those are maximums in the IDD, you can change the limit and see if the program fails. There is usually a good reason for setting mins and maxes the way they are.
