[Equest-users] BDL Error

[Thomas Vu]

All,

 

I get the following BDL error in my model

 

WALL has no heat capacity. U-Value used.

 

I am modeling the baseline envelope as prescribed in Appendix G of
90.1-2004.  Referring to Appendix A of 90.1-2004 to model the baseline
envelope, I  created layers for the wall construction seen in the attached
screenshot.  The resulting U-value for the wall is 0.124.  Can I not model a
wall in this manner?  It seems specifying the U-value alone in the
construction layer would do the same thing.
