    Split Floor Levels

      Product(s): OpenBuildings Energy Simulator
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Environment: N/A
      Area: Building Modelling
      Subarea: N/A

    Overview

    There may be times when you wish to consider a split level floor in a project. This can be achieved in the software, however there are a number of things to consider.

    Method

    Each main floor and split floor should be set up as a unique floor at the appropriate height.

    In our example, the project would have 3 floors. Ground floor at 0m, Split ground floor at 1.25m and First floor at 1.75m.

    Once you have drawn your rooms on each floor you must ensure that the room heights and wall heights are set correctly, as it can often prove difficult to use the setup intermediate floors option using this method.

    You will also need to ensure that all internal floors and ceilings have the correct adjacencies by viewing/editing the surface properties in the project tree.
