Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Thermal mass

[Edwin Lee <leeed2001@xxxxxxxxx>]

To see the effects, you'll likely have to make sure the wall is exposed to direct solar.  If the wall is just riding along via convection with the zone air, but never excited with a high thermal gain, you may not see much lag or decrement effect.

Sir

I want to find out the effect of Thermal mass, so i model  two type of different wall having almost same U-value but different heat capacity

( density X specific heat ) and simulate. But the profile of zone temperature for 24 hour are same. So how can i model the thermal mass effect ?
