switching off zones for EPC analysis

Post by p_sentobe »

Hi IES,
I have two floors modelled that I now wish to produce separate EPCs for (the client changed his marketing).

1) How do I 'switch off' zones to focus the analysis only on the remaining floor?

2) How does IES handle the adjacencies? i.e. if I swicth off the upper floor, does IES assume the lower floor now has adiabatic ceiling adjacencies, or do I have to manually indicate this?

Best

Paul

Sorry I've just found the answer to my first question!

Can someone throw some light onto my second question then?

Thanks

Hi Paul

I believe VE Compliance would assume adiabatic for any surface adjacent to an inactive zone.
