Dear All,
I am interested to know whether it is possible to create a model in energy plus, which contains a zone with furniture in it and whether it is possible give material properties to this furniture, like you do to the materials that form the construction which are used for the definition of the external fabric of the building.
If anyones know if possible, please can you tell me how I input the information in the model? and if is it possible to created the geometry of the furniture using openstudio?
thanks
Fernando
