Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Openstudio automatic detection of interior walls/floors

[reza m <reza.energy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
It is not correct. You had faulted in modeling. 
Fallow these steps:
  1- define a zone for each floor.

2- double-click on zone also on object \right click\intersect face \ with model ( do this for all of your zones)

3-run surface matching tool\ match in the entire model

4- save IDF
after this process you will have interior and exterior surfaces

also maybe you have defined materials 
or contractions, and you want to assign them to exterior, interior surfaces

use Default Construction tool
or watch this tutorial

Hello,

 

I am modeling a multi-story building using OpenStudio and when I built zones (second story) on top of the already built ground floor zones, OpenStudio carries the external floor construction definition for internal floors and external wal defn for internal walls. Doesn't OpenStudio automatically detect the surface characteristics once it is built? Or am I missing something here?

 

Hope to hear from someone.

 

Thanks!

 

Regards,

Vinay
