[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: heat loss through surfaces



Look for Output variable with Surfaces. Floors, Walls, Roofs are surfaces, heat transfer surfaces, to differentiate them from shades. EnergyPlus classifies Windows as Fenestrations. Windows normally made of transparent material which, theoretically, also transmit radiation, besides absorbing and reflecting radiation. 

Heat loss and Heat Gains can be separate output variables. Heat loss normally has a negative sign, heat gain positive sign. 

Search the output variables after a successful run, from the menu that drops down when you click on the field in the Output variable object. Or you may like to look at the RDD file.
