Kelsey, Loukiashenko, and others...

 

See attached for 90.1-2007 baseline roof and steel-framed wall constructions for all zones, compiled with layers per Appendix A and materials per ASHRAE Fundamentals (open the .inp for further info).

 

File à Import once you're in detailed mode, reassign surface constructions as necessary.

 

Credits (again) due to Adam Boyd for putting this together and sharing.

You can create custom constructions with the following layers. You will need to adjust the thickness of the insulation layers slightly to achieve the exact U-factor (inverse of overall R-value), but here is a good starting point:

 

Roof (see A2.2.1): Built-up roofing, Polystyrene 4 in (R-5/in)

Walls (see A3.3.1): 1" Stucco, 2 in Polystyrene, create a material based on resistance with a R-value of 6.0 to represent the effective R-value of the steel studs plus batt insulation (Table A3.3), 5/8 in gypsum wall board.

Hello all,

 

We are using eQuest for LEED and we are to create a baseline design of our building. Characteristics for baseline construction materials (walls,roof,floor, etc) must be equal to ASHRAE 90.1 (for our zone it is table 5.5-6, p.24) data:

 

Roof - Insulation entirely above deck - U-0.048 / R-20.0 c.i.

Walls - Steel framed - U-0.064 / R-13.0+R-7.5c.i.

Slab-on-grade floors - unheated - F-0.540 / R-10 for 24 in.

 

Can anyone help to choose appropriate consructions/materials from eQuest screen?

We are not sure what to choose as we are located in Europe and use another parametrs and names.

 

Thank you!

 

 

Kseniya L.
