Eleni,<br>
It is not exactly correct because it is not time dependent and uses
default interior and exterior convective coefficients but I usually use
the u-value shown in the *.inf file as my reported u-value for walls. I
do not think that there is a special ntype for the u-value of walls.
Please someone correct me if I am wrong about that!!<br>
<br>
As for NTYPE86, it is the equivalent thermal resistance (r-value)
between a given (user specified) surface and the star-node (for
radiation exchange calculations).<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>

Which is the correct Ntype for the u-value of a wall? What is Ntype 86?
It is not explained in the manual. Thank you in advance<br>
