Revision history [back]

Hi Everyone,

I'm experimenting with the Kiva foundation object in Openstudio and noticed that simply assigning "foundation" as the outside boundary condition to a slab on grade floor in contact with the ground under the "spaces --> surfaces" tab gives a "no corresponding SURFACEPROPERTY:EXPOSEDFOUNDATIONPERIMETER object defined" error.

I see by looking at the documentation that this is the outer perimeter of the surface in contact with the ground.

Is there a way to specify this parameter in OpenStudio, or is the Kiva Foundation object meant to be used with an energyplus measure / tweaking the e+ file?
