RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Internal Mass approximations
Thanks to several of you for the suggestion to use the Zone object?s Multiplier field. Zone Multiplier, it seems, will multiply all of the walls and windows as well as the internals, so that will work.
As the risk of being too picky?.
I prepare geometry and materials information in DesignBuilder because I?d go crazy trying to keep track of all those vertices on my own. DesignBuilder makes it very easy to give my clients a nice 3D image of their building as part of the report! It?s something like comfort food; they may not understand all of the technical details, but it sure looks like their building and gives an extra dose of confidence that the technical part is correct. (which it is!)
If I make one intermediate floor and multiply all of its zones, my 3D image will look rather squat compared to the 12 story real thing. So, now that I?ve realized a criteria that I forgot to mention the first time around (having a representative 3D image) ? is there a way to do that?
Thanks for your patience!
p.s., Linda, I could not find anything in my Tips and Tricks doc after going through all 39 pages. The IO Ref works, though.
