Does anyone know how to create a ruby script measure for adding metric u values to each construction type in openstudio?
How do you add a measure to openstudio for adding metric u-values for construction types automatically. It would be really helpful to have a U value calculator built into the open studio application. Any thoughts?
@David H Could you try to elaborate on what exactly you need. Do you want to assign same U-value to all constructions? What do you need to automate. I am confused since U-values are assigned to materials not to constructions.
For example, when you create a new wall in openstudio, you add layers of materials. Each material has a thermal conductivity value with a specified thickness. The overall construction of the wall then defines the U-value (thermal transmittance). I know very little about writing scripts. So, I was wondering whether it would be possible for a script to be added to openstudio. This script would add indicative U-value for each construction element (walls, roofs). It would be helpful, if you could select whether you require this in IP or SI valves.
