Roof Assembly Definitions in BEopt I would like to better understand how roof assemblies are modeled in BEopt. Usually f

2020-01-08 19:06:11 -0500 marked best answer Framing Spacing Affect on BEopt Sim

It appears that when wall and roof framing assemblies have their framing spacing changed, the overall building energy use is the same. When I investigated further I found that changing the framing spacing doesn't change the framing assembly R-value. Is it true that the stud spacing is accounted for with the framing factor alone? If so then why is there a stud spacing field? Thanks.

How can I account for large trees near the home which provide shade and moderate temperature? Thanks.
