Building Region - [source code]
Build a solid building region for the UMF case: from the façade surface meshes, two material wall layers (outer + inner) are extruded inward to model heat and moisture transport through the building envelope.
Input
| Name | Nickname | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Building Mesh | Mesh | Building façade surface meshes. The wall layers are extruded inward from these surfaces, so supply the outer building surfaces (not closed solids). | Mesh |
| Outer Material | OM | Material of the outer wall layer — the façade-side layer extruded inward from the mesh. | Generic Data |
| Inner Material | IM | Material of the inner wall layer — the interior-side layer behind the outer layer. | Generic Data |
| Outer Thickness | OT | Thickness of the outer wall layer, in meters. Optional; default is 0.1. | Number |
| Inner Thickness | IT | Thickness of the inner wall layer, in meters. Optional; default is 0.1. | Number |
| Mesh Settings | MeshSet | Mesh refinement settings for the building region (from the Building Mesh Settings component). | Generic Data |
| Building Temperature | BT | Constant interior room temperature (°C), imposed as the inner-wall boundary condition for the whole run. Optional; default is 22. | Number |
Output
| Name | Nickname | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Building Region | Building | The building solid region; connect it to the UMF Case component's Building Region input. | Generic Data |
