agreed, one can choose a different algorithm for different surfaces
ÂJust to clarify, in this case, where he's got radiant ceiling and PCM in walls, he should be able to select a different algorithm right? The problem is when you have both PCM and radiant in the same wall or ceiling?--

Hi,
I want to simulate a room with a Radiant cooling system in ceiling and
PCM(phase change material) boards in walls..
Is it possible to choose a "Conduction Finite Difference" algorithm in "Heat Balance Algorithm"
[to take into account PCMs] AND! also use a "Conduction Transfer Function" algorithm
in "Surface Property:Heat Transfer Algorithm" for ceiling surface or ceiling construction, to calculate
Radiant cooling effects?
Thank's alot
