Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Internal Mass - non symmetrical walls' construction



How about one object with:
  1. proper construction / mass
  2. total surface area corresponding to all exposed surface (e.g., area for both sides)

Hallo,
In a single zone file, I would like to add walls within the space of the zone

that are important to heat transfer calculations but not necessarily important geometrically. For all interior walls, which do not have a symmetrical construction, I am using one single object in the InternalMass field, with their construction. Is this correct or should I use two objects to describe each wall, according to the two sides of the symmetry of the construction?

Thank you, 

I.
