Hello everyone,

I am quite new to EnergyPlus and I would like to know if EnergyPlus takes into account the fact that the specific heat of air changes with temperature ?

I am currently using the Conduction Transfer Function algorithm for my simulations. I have looked in the Engineering Reference and what I found is that it was possible to define Phase Change Materials and in that case, the specific heat varies with temperature.

So I just wanted to be sure that, if I define some specific heat in the "Material" object, it will be considered constant with temperature ? What about the air specific heat ?

Thank you for your help
