Overview

This article would show you how to change the heat-flow types through the partitions of your building energy model.

Method

Users might require to disregard internal heat transfer while calculating heat gain calculations for their energy model. To do that,

Open the properties section of a partition wall.

If the heatflow type is selected as Adjacent room, that defines the wall would allow heat to flow through to the adjacent rooms.

In order to disregard or ignore internal heat transfer, select none from the dropdown list. This would keep the software from considering heat flowing between adjacent rooms.

To learn more about adjacency, refer to the wiki article here.
