Thermal conductivity of building materials

Hey guys,

Does IES take account of the difference in thermal conductivity of building materials in wet and dry conditions. For example you set the u value of the external walls when making a model. Does it change over time when a simulation is run to reflect the rainfall from the weather file being ...

Re: Modelling terraced houses

I have a bit of time so would like to try to get it in as much detail as possible.

What I have done therefore is modeled the surrounding rooms to the same level of detail as I have done with the house I want the results for. What I have then done is run the simulation for the 3 houses and then ...

Modelling terraced houses

What is the best way to model a terraced home so that you accurately model its heating energy use?

As far as I'm aware you can make the buildings either side into adjacent buildings but this results in an adiabatic boundary between the houses. I'm trying to make the model as accurate as possible ...
