[esp-r] Re: How to describe desks and furniture inside a zone?

[Leen Peeters]

Hi Lewis,

I recently got some advice on that from Jon and Aizas ;-)
Go to the zone geometry,
Define 4 (or more) vertices locates within the zone (i.e. thus 'floating' around)
create a surface based on these vertices (i.e. a 'floating' surface)
give the surface a material (e.g. make it a wooden door)
boundary condition is 'adiabatic'
make a surface from the same vertices, but then in reverse order
give it a material/construction that is the opposite of the one selected before (i.e. the inverse of the wooden door)
bound it again as adiabatic


the inverse of the selected construction can be created in the database maintenance option in the menu when opening ESP
open the construction database, select the construction of interest (e.g. wooden door)
and create the inverse of that

Subject: [esp-r]  How to describe desks and furniture inside a zone?

Dear all.



As I have heard before, the esp-r allows me to describe some mass in a zone.



It is sometimes important because the heat capacity of the objects in a zone such as desk, furniture and so on should be considered in the energy calculation.



I'm just wondering HOW I CAN DESCRIBE some floating mass or objects inside a zone in ESP-r.



It seems that those objects inside a zone give a considerable effect on temperature profile or heating/cooliing loads.



Your Reply will be appreciated.



Thank you.
