RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Zone Area





Vinay,

In DesignBuilder, the zone surfaces and volumes used in calculations are generated from the internal dimensions of the block i.e. the wall thickness is subtracted from the length and width of zone for the area/volume calculations.  That’s the reason you see different zone areas. The zone area is calculated from geometry in EnergyPlus. You can find more details in DesignBuilder Program Help. Here is a quick link:

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Zone Area

 

 

Hello All,

 

I have been using Designbuilder to build the geometry using an imported CAD file. But somehow I get to a point where the Zone areas tend to be different from what is mentioned in the drawings.

Is there any way in energyplus where we can assign floor areas for each zone or it is just calculated from the geometry?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you.

 

Regards,

Vinay
