FW: Roof conduction (Pitch Roof)

3 posts / 0 new

Good morning,

For my model, when I go to report LS-C, Is not showing any roof conduction, not really sure why since I have a pitch roof as unconditioned attic/plenum, therefore there should be heat transfer from the outside to the attic and from the attic to the interior space.

How should I correct this?

Thanks.

The SPACE definition should defined ZONE-TYPE = PLENUM, not
UNCONDITIONED. The ZONE definition should be TYPE = PLENUM, again
not UNCONDITIONED.

Note PLENUMs can also be defined with the SPACE definition as
ZONE-TYPE = CONDITIONED in the case of an atrium being used as a
return air plenum with lights, occupants, etc.

Catalina,
I am not sure about the Wizard mode, I haven't used it that much. I
tend to use the Detailed edit mode or direct edit in the .inp file.
