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
Mesh Building façade surface meshes. The wall layers are extruded inward from these surfaces, so supply the outer building surfaces (not closed solids).
Outer Material OM Material of the outer wall layer — the façade-side layer extruded inward from the mesh.
Inner Material IM Material of the inner wall layer — the interior-side layer behind the outer layer.
Outer Thickness OT Thickness of the outer wall layer, in meters. Optional; default is 0.1.
Inner Thickness IT Thickness of the inner wall layer, in meters. Optional; default is 0.1.
MeshSet Mesh refinement settings for the building region (from the Building Mesh Settings component).
Building Temperature BT Constant interior room temperature (°C), imposed as the inner-wall boundary condition for the whole run. Optional; default is 22.

Output

Name Nickname Description
Building The building solid region; connect it to the UMF Case component's Building Region input.
