A final comment on the original question of modeling thermal bridges
in e-QUEST (or any other whole-building energy simulation
program). ASHRAE TC 4.7 had sponsored work on this topic 14 years
ago (2000-2001), "MODELING TWO- AND THREE- DIMENSIONAL HEAT
TRANSFER THROUGH COMPOSITE WALL AND ROOF ASSEMBLIES IN TRANSIENT
ENERGY SIMULATION PROGRAMS (1145-TRP)". The work was done by
Enermodal in association with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the
Polish Academy of Sciences. The solution was pretty much what I had
mentioned previously, i.e., use a 2-D conduction program (HEATING-7)
to calculate response factors, although the project went one step
further to derive a fictitious 3-layer 1-D wall section with the
same dynamic thermal properties. For more information, please see
the full report available from ORNL at<span style="color:#1f497d">
<a href="http://web.ornl.gov/sci/roofs+walls/research/detailed_papers/whole_bldg/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://web.ornl.gov/sci/roofs+walls/research/detailed_papers/whole_bldg/" target="_blank">http://web.ornl.gov/sci/roofs+walls/research/detailed_papers/whole_bldg/</a>
.<br>
<br>
Although the project was successful technically, it seemed to have
been ignored by the simulation community, and even in many ways
by TC 4.7 itself! To me,the lesson is that no matter how good is
the widget, there always has to be a tech transfer and
dissemination effort lest the widget just sits on the shelf. As a
reaction to this thread, I am currently bringing up the subject
within TC4.7 whether we need to do a small follow-on project to do
a guideline on modeling 2-D/3-D heat transfer along with a
computer tool that makes it no more difficult (well... maybe a
little more) to do than standard 1-D heat transfer.<br>
<br>
If there's anyone on this bulletin board who thinks such a
project would be useful, please let me know as I make my case to
TC 4.7.<br>

agree that it is important for designers to understand the
effects of thermal bridging at transitions in typical
construction details. But convincing developers to spend the
extra time and construction cost to reduce these thermal
bridges is difficult considering the payback periods range
from 30-40 years depending on the project and location.

I took a brief scroll through the link that you provided, and
yes, there's a lot of information there. I haven't yet found a
technical description of the methodology, but I did get to the
tables with pretty colored pictures of wall sections and their
computed U-values. I hope there's more information on the
dynamic characteristics of these wall sections, i.e., thermal
mass, diffusivity, etc., since those would be needed to model
them correctly in a simulation program.
<br>
<br>
In terms of comparing the methodologies, as you've suggested,
one place to start would be simply comparing the steady-state
U-values derived for the same wall constructions. I've done
some digging on my end and found an old 1997 User News
newsletter with a brief description of the 2-D response factor
work I did with Fred Winkelmann and Vladimir Bazjanac and a
table listing the R-values for the 76 steel-frame wall
sections modeled. Since the whole newsletter is only 657K,
I've attached it with this e-mail. The newsletter is
interesting in other ways, as well, including the announcement
of the 5th IBPSA conference to be held in the Czech Republic
:-) .<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I actually
helped to develop a method to model thermal bridges in
DOE-2 back in 1986 that has never been widely
disseminated, although I still find it the most practical
way to model 2-D heat flows in whole-building simulations.<br>
<br>
This method uses a two-dimensional finite-element program
(WALFERFN) that calculates one-dimensional equivalent
response factors which are written directly into the DOE-2
layers library (BDLLIB.DAT), which can then be called by
DOE-2 just like any other response factor in the library.<br>
<br>
I've always used this technique in my residential
modeling, with the added benefit of not needing to input
duplicate sets of wall layers for the stud and non-stud
portions, which measurably simplifies the models and
makes them easier to read. The last time I did
significant work on this subject was in 2000-2002, when I
created for the California Energy Commission a library of
over 100 wall layers with metal framing and thus
considerable thermal bridging. I compared the wall
assembly U-values to that calculated by ORNL's Heating-7
program, and they were right on. Unfortunately, a few
years after the project was completed, the Commission
decided to move to EnergyPlus as their reference program,
and so this work was effectively abandoned.<br>
<br>
For more information on this technique, i.e., creating 2-D
response factors, please see this report:<br>
<a href="http://www.whiteboxtechnologies.com/PAPERS/96_12_YJH_2Drespfacs_CEC_rpt.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.whiteboxtechnologies.com/PAPERS/96_12_YJH_2Drespfacs_CEC_rpt.pdf</a><br>
<br>
If there's anyone who's still running DOE-2 in batch,
rather than just the eQUEST interface, this procedure
should be quite understandable. Just e-mail me and I'll
be happy to give you a copy of the WALFERFN program and
some sample input files.

Hello Sir,<br>
eQuest does not have the capability to directly
model thermal bridges. The typical methodology is to
calculate the effective U-value of the
insulation/thermal bridge layer when building your
layers for the construction. BC Hydro has published
significant research on building envelope thermal
bridging. See the lower portion of the webpage:<br>
