Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community

A quick search of the OpenStudio default library osm files (located at C:\Program Files\OpenStudio 1.10.3\share\openstudio-1.10.3\OSApp reveals that, for instance, 'Roof Insulation [18] is the second layer material for the construction 'ASHRAE 189.1-2009 ExtRoof IEAD ClimateZone 1'. These constructions and materials were most likely created as part of the research project documented here, which states that "To model the building fabric (roofs, walls, floors, slabs, doors, vertical glazing, and skylights) recommendations in Standard 189.1-2009, we applied Tables A-1 through A-8 from the Standard to the energy models based on climate zone." Therefore, in order to validate and attribute the values of that material, the best starting point would be those tables in ASHRAE Standard 189.1-2009. It seems, though, like the number in the square bracket is an identifier only, and not related to the material properties.
@long should be able to provide more information on the Standard 189.1 study.
