Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] overhang and fin material

["Jean Marais jeannieboef@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You should look to see what construction is being referenced in your fin surface object. Then go to that object, copy it and change the material layers as you want (that may mean going to the material layers one by one, copying and creating new material objects. Then when your new construction is defined, you can reference that in the fin surface object instead of the construction currently referenced.

There are graphical GUIs which can help with all of this, if you don't like working in the idf directly.

You are not confused. You are overwelmed. We all are when we start out.

So typically a 

-surface object (building element object)

-- contruction object

---material object layer 1

---material object layer 2

---up to 10 layers

Objects in e+ reference other objects. In your case a shading fin might be best modelled using the surface object "Shading:Fin:Projection" (or perhaps something else is more appropriate). How did I find that? I do keyword searches in the documentation.

Hi Dear,

I am a new e+ user. I try to get help from input output reference but i am completely confused. I was wondering, is it possible in e+ have a different materials for overhang and fins?

If it's possible would you please give me a brief detail.

Thanks for your time.
