Hi all,

I just simulated a 9 zone models in EnergyPlus using the latest release version. The system model has a couple of adiabatic walls. After the simulation successfully terminated, I looked at the Envelope Summary report and couldn't see the adiabatic (interior) walls listed. Does anyone know why they do not show up? How does EnergyPlus treats adiabatic walls during execution?

Thanks!

Thierry

@Neal Kruis, @Annie Marston Thanks to both of you but it is still not clear to me why those walls do not appear in the report.

The InputOutputReference.pdf says following:

Envelope Summary

The Envelope Summary report (key: EnvelopeSummary) produces a report that includes the following tables:

1. Opaque which includes all opaque surfaces and includes the name of the construction, reflectance, U-Factor, gross area, azimuth, tilt, cardinal direction.

2. Fenestration which includes all non-opaque surfaces and includes the name of the construction, areas (glass, frame, divider, single opening, multiplied openings), U-Factor, SHGC (the solar heat gain coefficient based on summer conditions), visible transmittance, conductance (frame, divider), indication of shade control, the name of the parent surface, azimuth, tilt, cardinal direction.

Shouldn't those walls not be included in this report?
