[esp-r] Re: Custom ground profile

[Sébastien Brideau]

Hi Staya,

 

I think that you could maybe use an adiabatic boundary condition at the
outside of the floor. You could also use the “prescribed static” boundary
condition or the “similar to current”  boundary condition.

 

I don’t think that the ground profile would make much sense for your
application.  Maybe other users with much more building simulation knowledge
can let us know if I’m wrong on this, but I think that those three boundary
conditions would give you a good approximation of what is actually
happening.

Subject: [esp-r] Custom ground profile

 

Hi

 

I am modelling the 11th (top most) floor of a building in order to run a
simulation for resultant temperature distribution over 6 days. 

 

I do not want to add 10 more floors to the model. What are my options?

 

So far the following has come to my mind:

i) use a custom ground profile: i have no idea how to do this, where should
i look for information and for samples of such files?

 

ii) create another single large zone consisting of the 10 lower floors
because I do not expect the temperature to drop sharply below the 10th
floor.
