Hi All,
My question is about EnergyPlus output variables:
Is there are method to get surface temperature values of intermediate building layers that make up the whole envelope construction assembly ?
Normally, inside and outside temperature of building surfaces are reported. I tried to use Conduction Finite Difference (CondFD) as a surface heat balance algorithm instead of the usual CTF (Conduction Transfer Function).
According to E+ input/output reference, one of the CondFD outputs is "CondFD Nodal Temperature [C]" for each node in the surface simulated. However, E+ crashes with such input. I already send a ticket to E+ support system.
However, there may be another way of getting such a variable from E+ which I may be ignoring now.
Thanks for the replies.
Best.
