RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] MoistureMaterials.idf Reference

[Lixing Gu <gu@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jon:

The most comprehensive reference for EMPD material data is listed in
EnergyPlus Engineering Reference:

Kerestecioglu, A., Swami, M., Dabir, R., Razzaq, N., and Fairey, P., 1988,
"Theoretical and Computational Investigation of Algorithms for Simultaneous
Heat and Moisture Transport in Buildings," FSEC-CR-191-88, Florida Solar
Energy Center, Cape Canaveral, FL. 

Is it possible that we might use different coefficients since
Kerestecioglu's publication. The coefficients in the MoistureMaterials.idf
were used extensively in our in-house program and reasonable results were
obtained.  

Please let me know if you need more information.

Thanks.

Lixing Gu

Good day. 

Does anyone know the reference for the EMPD material data set in the
MoistureMaterials library? The Eng Ref provides a reference for the HAMT
material properties but not the EMPD model. 

The EMPD coefficients in MoistureMaterials.idf equal the coefficients
provided in Kerestecioglu's 1989 ASHRAE Transactions paper for Gypsum only,
and not for the other materials listed.

Thanks!
Jon Winkler
