Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] porous material



Did you look at "ASHRAE_2005_HOF_Materials.idf", in DataSets folder (C:\EnergyPlusV8-3-0\DataSets)?

Hi Jim

Thanks for your respond. I know how to insert material properties in material field. But I am wondering that if a material had a lot of small holes like pumice, is there another field to fill out in E+ or not.

Thanks in advance

Rose

Rose,
If you know density, conductivity and thickness for the pumice you can define it within E+.  I doubt that there is an example file which uses pumice, but you can adjust the properties of any material in an example file and rename it.
This can be done in the IDF Editor, DesignBuilder or OpenStudio.

Hi everybody

How can I model a wall in which a porous material like pumice is used in E+ please? Is there any example file for this?

Thanks
Rose
