[EnergyPlus_Support] RE: Thermal mass

[<fpasserini.tn@xxxxxxxxx>]

You should try using extreme conditions. 

I used periodic conditions in the weather file (and there was no internal loads, no ventilation or infiltration) and the period was equal to 24 hours.

The internal space was conditioned and I got the following results for different materials in the external wall composition:  http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/109/6khg.jpg (the graph concerns the "Surface Inside Face Temperature").

With the finite different method I got similar results. 

Best Regards

Dear all,
What is meaning meaning of non-thermal mass walls and
thermal mass walls in EnergyPlus? Are thermal mass
walls supposed to simulate only furniture? I can not
find an example idf file for my problem I want to
solve. Namely, I would like that my external walls
have thermal mass. Can you direct me to some idf
example?
