modelExteriorWall

Model of an exterior wall with Spawn-controlled surface conditions

Extends from Buildings.HeatTransfer.Conduction.BaseClasses.PartialConstruction.

Information

This is a model of the heat transfer through an exterior wall, which is connected to an EnergyPlus Zone Heat Balance through Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_24_2_0.ZoneSurface object on the interior surface and a Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_24_2_0.OutputVariable to read the exterior surface temperature.

This model can be used in a Spawn simulation to substitute the heat conduction calculation performed by EnergyPlus with a Buildings.HeatTransfer.Conduction.MultiLayer object.
