Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] ABOUT ADIABATIC WALLS AND INTERNAL MASS!!!!!!

Hi there,

Adiabatic surfaces will block heat transfer to and from the zone. However, EnergyPlus assumes that adiabatic walls will store heat in the thermal mass. Only inside surface of an adiabatic wall will be in thermal interaction with the zone. Therefore, so as to model adiabatic internal partitions both surfaces should be defined as adiabatic.
Best.

Hi, everyone,

I want to ask about something. I am having a wall that is adiabatic
surface, what's the connection with internal mass? I mean, should I
also put internal mass in this specific wall or not??

I am using adiabatic surface to show that the zones over the adiabatic wall, do not affect my investigating south zones.

Whato do you think??
Thanx
