Modelling the base case Wall U-value

1 post / 0 new

This question is about the modelling the base case for 90.1-2004
Appendix G. I read that the base case walls should be modelled as
Steel frame with the maximum U-value as noted in Tables 5.5-x. Does
this mean that the simulation output file should list the wall
U-value as the same as noted in Tables 5.5-x for Steel Frame
construction for the building type - Non-residential or Residential
as the case may be? For example, if the location points to Table
5.5-1, I assume that the simulation output file should list the
assembly U-value as U-0.124 for non-residential.

Thanks for you help!
