energy:ThermalBoundary

Type

Feature Type

Definition

Thermal Boundaries delimit Thermal Zones. Thermal Boundaries represent physical relationships between two Thermal Zones, or a Thermal Zone and the outside environment, or a Thermal Zone and the ground. Their non-opening construction must be homogeneous.

Attribute type: energy:delimits

back

Definition

In case two ThermalZones are referenced via the relation "delimits", the following rule concerning the order of the related objects applys:

- For ThermalBoundary objects of type "intermediaryFloor", the first related object is the upper ThermalZone, and the second related object is the lower ThermalZone.
- For all other ThermalBoundary types, the first related ThermalZone is in contact with the last Layer of the corresponding AbstractConstruction, and the second related ThermalZone is in contact with the first Layer of the corresponding AbstractConstruction.
