I want to model a building which has open spaces in some areas. i.e. in some areas in floor one, the ceiling height is different from others. is there a way to draw it inside of openstudio without using the sketchup ?
Yes, you can do this directly in the OpenStudio App:
1) Click on the >> button to allow space-specific properties.
2) Type in different values for e.g. Floor to Ceiling Height.
3) When you go to the 3D geometry rendering, it should reflect the height difference.
Thank You, I really appreciate it !
I'm assuming that "to draw it inside of OpenStudio" (not SketchUp) means the FloorspaceJS editor. I'm only somewhat familiar with the editor - hopefully experienced users will correct me with editor subtleties that may simplify the following steps.
This is how I would approach a 2-storey lobby using the editor. The editor-generated lobby below is made up of 2x superimposed spaces ("Space 1-2" & "Space 2-2"), each with their own unique thermal zone. The selected interzone Floor, "Face 18" (of "Space 2-2"), is matched with an interzone RoofCeiling, "Face 7" (in "Space 1-2" below).
Adding a new AirBoundary Construction.
Assigning the new AirBoundary Construction to "Face 18" and "Face 7".
Making sure "Space 2-2" is not part of the total floor area.
I'd then start going over inter alia:
That's a simple case. Depending on the configuration and E+ version, you may trip over a few hurdles (e.g. this fix a year ago). I'd suggest incremental experimentation.
