Creating an Envelope

[EddieOrtiz]

Hi, I'm somewhat new to IES. I am trying to create external walls that consist of concrete and insulation.

Is there a way to model it so that I can easily change the thickness of the insulation, or include an air gap between the insulation and concrete wall? In other words, I want to make an envelope that I can adjust accordingly.

This can be done in the Construction Database in Apache. The Apache View User Guide as well as the Construction Database User Guide describe in detail how you can edit constructions and assign them to the building.

The custom envelope you're proposing is absolutely possible. If you get stuck after reviewing the User Guides, let us know!
