Hi..
I have a question about modelling internal doors in Energy Plus. I draw one door inside the building that connects hallway to main bedroom. In Energy Plus IDF, I get the following FenestrationSurface:Detailed object.
! Door, 1.999m2
FenestrationSurface:Detailed, SecondFloor:Unit8XMBR_Partition_4_0_0_0_0_0_Door, !- Door name
Door, Project internal door, !- Class and Construction Name
SecondFloor:Unit8XMBR_Partition_4_0_0, !- Base surface
SecondFloor:Unit8XHallway_Partition_2_0_0_0_0_0_Door_10061, !- Corresponding other surface
0, !- View Factor to Ground
, !- Frame divider name
1, !- Multiplier
4, !- Number vertices
1.9711583543,-29.96357673, 2.64795, !- Vertex 1
1.9711583543,-30.96332073, 2.64795, !- Vertex 2
1.9711583543,-30.96332073, 4.647438, !- Vertex 3
1.9711583543,-29.96357673, 4.647438; !- Vertex 4
However, I get another FenestrationSuface:Detailed object as below:
! Door, 1.999m2
FenestrationSurface:Detailed, SecondFloor:Unit8XHallway_Partition_2_0_0_0_0_0_Door_10061, !- Door name - reverse definition
Door, Project internal door_Rev, !- Class and Construction Name
SecondFloor:Unit8XHallway_Partition_2_0_10059, !- Base surface
SecondFloor:Unit8XMBR_Partition_4_0_0_0_0_0_Door, !- Corresponding other door subsurface
0, !- View Factor to Ground
, !- Frame divider name
1, !- Multiplier
4, !- Number vertices
1.9711583543,-30.96332073, 2.64795, !- Vertex 1
1.9711583543,-29.96357673, 2.64795, !- Vertex 2
1.9711583543,-29.96357673, 4.647438, !- Vertex 3
1.9711583543,-30.96332073, 4.647438; !- Vertex 4
The second one is referred to as 'reverse definition'.
My question is: Are these two same doors? If I create a natural ventilation model and set one of them as "OPEN", will the door with reverse definition open too?
Thanks.
