I am trying to simulate walkout basement with Foundation Kiva. Reading both the Engineering reference and the Input output reference left me a bit confused about two things:
Is the foundation floor segment along the walkout opening should be count as exposed in the SurfaceProperty:ExposedFoundationPerimeter or only segments which does not have walls above them?
One other thing is in the SurfaceProperty:ExposedFoundationPerimeter does the first field , Surface Name, refers to the Foundation:Kiva object or to the original BuildingSurface:Detailed as it might refer to its vertices if BySegment is selected for the Exposed Perimeter Calculation Method field.
One last thing, I could not find any example IDF files in E+ examples for the foundation Kiva. Are there any good example?
