Revision history [back]

I have one simple and another potentially less simple question related to the Peak Cooling Sensible Heat Gain Components report (and its Peaking Heating counterpart). I'll keep the two questions separate for good housekeeping. Here's the less simple one...

Question: Opaque Surface Conduction and Other Heat Addition [Btu/h] -- What's actually in this load component and why is it 5x greater than the next load (Window Heat Addition)?

I am trying to help someone make sense of a poorly performing 2D "simplified" CBECC-Com model. I have a hunch that there may be geometry issues and still trying to prove it. I highly doubt that opaque surface conduction is driving cooling load sizing more than window/solar gains, and thinking there might be something strange happening in the "and Other Heat Addition" part of this load component.

I read up on this report and the variable (HERE) and found that this component is calculated as the difference between the auto-sized load and the sum of the other gains. Needless to say, that's the opposite of helpful.
