The facade air gap will usually have higher temperatures than ambient. Thus, conduction is increased.</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Best</DIV> <DIV>Achim</DIV> <DIV><BR> <DIV> <DIV>On Apr 28, 2010, at 4:24 PM, 王菊花 wrote:</DIV><BR class=ecxApple-interchange-newline> <BLOCKQUOTE><SPAN class=ecxApple-style-span style="WORD-SPACING: 0px; FONT: medium Helvetica; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate"> <DIV class=ecxhmmessage style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><FONT size=4>When I define the boundary conditions which apply to each surface in the model by selecting<SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN></FONT><FONT size=4><EM>check via vertex contiguity</EM><SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN>facility.It scans the polygons of a model looking for surfaces in<BR>various zones which are close matches<BR>in terms of shape and position.After that,I began to take the action<SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><EM>simulation</EM>.It warned that<SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><EM>Surface X has a nonsymmetric construction interior.It faces Y  which is composed of interior (which may not match).</EM>Here,X and Y are surfaces matching in terms of shape and position.They are the same surface actually separating two adjacent zones.They just have opposite directions for the two zones.And<SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><EM>interior</EM>is the name of construction defined by myself.I wonder whether the warnings affect simulation results?</FONT><BR><FONT size=4>I am simulating thermal performance of external respiration double skin facade.I built zones for airgap between the two curtain walls.But it turned out that cooling load in summer with double skin facade for south wall is bigger than cooling load with single skin facade for south wall.I can't explain this.I am thinking whether It is caused by the wrong surface connections &boundary conditions described above?</FONT><BR><FONT size=4>I am expecting your kind answers.Thank you in advance!Daisy.</FONT><BR><BR> <HR> 更多热辣资讯尽在新版MSN首页！<SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><A href="http://cn.msn.com/">立刻访问！</A><SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN>_______________________________________________<BR>esp-r mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk">esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk</A><BR><A href="http://lists.strath.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/esp-r">http://lists.strath.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/esp-r</A></DIV></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR> <DIV><SPAN class=ecxApple-style-span style="WORD-SPACING: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate"> <DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word"> <DIV><A href="mailto:achim.geissler@intergga.ch">achim.geissler@intergga.ch</A></DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></SPAN><BR class=ecxApple-interchange-newline></DIV><BR></DIV> <br /><hr />聊天+搜索+邮箱想要轻松出游,手机MSN帮你搞定! <a href='http://3g.msn.cn/' target='_new'>立刻下载！</a></body> </html>
