color:#1F497D'>If the space is a ground floor, then change the floor
construction type from “U-Value” to “layers” and similarly
for the top floor and its roof construction. This error is essentially telling
you that you have certain constructions that won’t have any time factor
included in the calculations. To get somewhat technical, consider two walls with
equal R-values, but different constructions – 1) concrete 2)steel stud
walls. A heat flux on the outside of the wall at time zero will be felt rather
rapidly on the inside in case 2, but in case 1 it will be absorbed by the wall
and introduced into the space over a delayed period of time (depending on the
construction, that delay can be over a day). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
