Adjacency Type | Description | Edited Within |
|---|---|---|
External | The Ceiling is directly adjacent to External Environment. This Adjacency Type is used for Flat Roofs where no Roofspace is present between the Ceiling & the External Environment. If Adjacency Type is changed to External within the Ceiling Data-Grid then the Assembly, Type and potentially Insulation may change as appropriate for an External Adjacency. | Ceiling Data-Grid Adjacency Column |
Roofspace | The Ceiling is adjacent to a Roofspace Zone. This Adjacency Type is used for Attic Roofs where a large air volume is created between the Ceiling & the External Environment. If Adjacency Type is changed to Roofspace within the Ceiling Data-Grid then the Assembly, Type and potentially Insulation may change as appropriate for an Roofspace Adjacency. | Ceiling Data-Grid Adjacency Column |
Internal | Ceilings adjacent to a Floor from the same Dwelling | Cannot be changed in the Data-Grid |
Neighbouring (Actual Connection) | Ceiling adjacent to a Floor from a different Dwelling. Neighbouring Adjacency Types are simulated as Adiabatic boundaries in the Simulation meaning that no effective heat transfer is modelled between them. | Cannot be changed in the Data-Grid |
Neighbouring (Manual Selection) | Ceilings adjacent to a Conditioned Space that is not part of the Hero Project model (i.e. Adjacent Buildings, Commercial Spaces etc). Neighbouring Adjacency Types are simulated as Adiabatic boundaries in the Simulation meaning that no effective heat transfer is modelled between them. | Ceiling Data-Grid Adjacency Column |
Carpark | Ceilings adjacent to an actual Carpark Zone that forms is part of the Common Area Dwelling | Cannot be changed in the Data-Grid |
Corridor | Ceilings adjacent to an actual Corridor Zone that forms is part of the Common Area Dwelling | Cannot be changed in the Data-Grid |
