Adjacent to Conditioned Space options

[revitworkbench]

Hello, I have a downtown building that shares 2 walls with adjoining buildings, otherwise known as adjacent to conditioned spaces. Does revit have an option where I can distiguish this characteristic so my heating and cooling loads are more accurate? If not, I am open to work arounds. Thanks!

Sorry for the late response, but could you generically model those adjacent Spaces? I'm not fluent with the calc. methods, so I can't help with specifics.

Select the space-> go to properties pallet-> Energy Analysis->

In that you can select what type of the space is it, is it Unconditional, Heated, Cooled etc. and select the material of the shared wall.

Can you post a image...............
You do your Heatload calculation using revit??

I can select what type of space it is, but it is kind of an all or nothing choice. You cant choose the wall type on a case by case basis like you suggest. If I am missing something please be more specific. As for the heat calcs in Revit, Blaahh! Yeah I know, but Im just trying to sort it out, see if I cant jimmy up a work around. I cant help but tinker under the hood... Thanks again.

S as you said we cant choose the wall type on a case by case, but if these issues are only in smaller number then we can duplicate those shared walls in edit type and the change its characteristics to achieve the desired result.[ this may be a lot of work]

And if u find a way to efficiently use the heat load calcs of revit, do post here...thanx
