Hello,
I am new to engergy modeling in Revit and when I was trying to set up materials, but the Thermal Properties, while they go very in-depth with setting like Electical Resistivity, they also feel limited in their flexibility. I want to create a material for my stud cavities (e.g. a fiberglass batt) however it seems like I have to use Thermal Conductivity to calculate the R-Value by thickness. This is great for my Rigid isulations like Rockwool which is 4.2 per inch, but fiberglass batt is R-19 period (in my zone) doesn't matter if its in a 5.5" stud or a 3.5" stud the R-value is always R-19.
Is there a way to change the thermal properties so that it calculates the Nominal Resistance instead of Thermal Conductivity or am I going to have to duplicate materials for each stud cavity thickness? Ideally I would have one material for metal stud and one for wood stud (simply to account for the thermal bridging), but I feel like duplicating those 3-4 times each for each stud thickness seems like overkill.
Also, if anyone has any good resources to help me learn evelope energy modeling in Revit, that would be much appreciated!
