Set-up Intermediate Floors

Question

Hi 
 Has the "Set-up Intermediate Floors" function from Hevacomp been transferred over to OpenBuildings energy simulator yet ? 
 Cheers 
 Graham

Hi Graham, 
 There is no such feature as this is actually one of the vastly improved features of OpenBuildings Energy Simulator, in that the software will do this automatically for you. 
 When a room is traced on the floor above an existing room it will automatically set up the surface adjacencies, as long as the new room is within the distance set here. 
 Furthermore, double-height spaces will recognise all adjacent rooms, independent of what floor they are on. (You may recall in Hevacomp that workarounds were required in this regard). This makes taller spaces like atria and warehouses much easier to model - all you need to do is to enter the correct room height and when the adjacent rooms are added the software will do the rest.
