Revision history [back]

Hi, i’m using the openstudio to simulate a building with two different designs regarding thermal inertia. To differentiate the thermal inertias I’m using the same construction, changing only the location of the insulation. For high termal inertia (HTI) I put the insulation on the outside, and for Low Inertia (LTI) I put the insulation near the inside . But when I run the program the results are switched: The Lower inertia responds slower to disconnecting the heating, and quicker to some solar radiation entering. I’ve alreay checked like 20 times that the two models are equal in everything except in the order of the layers. Is there any chance that EbergyPlus has a bug and maybe the outside is switched with the inside in the construction menu ? Or else why this is happening? Thank you,
