Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Use material with given U value

["Javed Iqbal eee.javed@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a data set of typical construction material that comes along with EnergyPlus Installation. You can open "ASHRAE_2005_HOF_Materials.idf" in IDF editor or Text Pad to refer this. See below

Hello all,

I would like to use a wall material that has a given U value (0,5). I know that EP calculates this value by means of roughness, thickness, conductivity, density and specific heat. However, I do not have these data available, and want to assign the U value myself. Is there a way to do this?

thanks!

Ipek
