I’m looking for literature on the topic and recommended modeling strategies for accounting for the convection heat transfer between the inner shell and outer rain-fly-like shell. The air gap between the two shells is large, typically between 14 and 27 inches. The hope is that all the modeling can be done in EnergyPlus. Any advice or references would be a great help!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Lesley<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>____________________________________________<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>Lesley Herrmann<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Commercial Buildings Engineer<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Center for Electricity, Resources, and Building Systems Integration <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>1617 Cole Blvd., Golden CO 80401<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>303.275.4318<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal>http://www.nrel.gov/buildings/<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
