I have a model generated in beopt, now I'm trying to add an insulated ceiling in the garage. Beopt put an unfinished roof over the garage, so there is are 'roof' heat transfer surfaces from garage to outside. I added an insulated ceiling, but it doesn't look like it changed anything. I think I need to fix these other surfaces too, correct? Is there any checking or validation performed in energyplus for surface coherence? What would happen if there was a wall missing or something?
I don't have a windows computer (linux geek) so I borrowed one to generate the model with Beopt, now I'm attempting to make modifications without it. Am I nuts to try to do this without a frontend such as BEopt? There appears to be nothing other than windows programs.
