reference plane of wall construction with differnet wall thickness
Hello to all, since I would like to simulate a ventilated living wall on a building facade using an air gap and roof vegetation as materials, I was wondering how Energy Plus deals with the wall structure. How sets E+ the reference level? In my SketchUp model, all the walls are built in 2D, of course. However, the greened walls have a different overall wall thickness than the ungreened walls due to the curtained Living walls. Is the entire wall then flush on the inside in the simulation and the Living walls are really as curtained or does the thicker wall then also offset on the inside because E+ always refers to the middle of the wall thickness? This information is important for me, because I do not want to simulate a completely greened facade, but only greened with living walls in sections.
Thanks for hints and expert tips.
Kind regards Maria
I you can attache a pic it will be easy to understand de walls.
I am afraid that I am not (yet) able to do so
