Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to simulate with E+ and DB a building built with ETFE (Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene). I can reproduce the physical properties..but do you think that it colud be a good interpretation of the real condition?
Thank you,

Best regards

Alice

If you can accurately model the thermal properties from the physical properties, it should be a good solution. You'll have to decide which of the heat balance algorithms will give you the best bang for the model.
