Therm Psi

Does anyone have a tutorial or link to one that shows how to extract a psi value from a THERM model? Specifically I'm looking at a slab edge with a otential thermal bridge. I have a THERM model with data output, but no psi value to input into WUFI

Any help is appreciated.

Wufi Passive Animation Calculation Period

So I'm trying to run one of those cool hygrothermic animatinos of a wall assembly in WUFI Plus mode. My calculation period is set for the month of February. I need to run it for the whole year, but no matter what I do it will only run February. I must have set this back when i knew what I was doing,...

Export assemblies OR update sketchup geometry

I have a WUFI model to update. I've created a new wufi file from the new sketchup geometry, but what I'd like to do is either: A) in my existing wufi model, update the sketchup geometry to my new sketchup file or B) import all my assemblies from the existing wufi file into this new wufi file made fr...

Re: Insulate between zones?

I think I've figured it out on my own. I'm going to use that basement space (zone 3) as an "Attached Zone" with a temperature reduction factor. Of course the reality is that this is not truly an "unheated, unconditioned space". And this feels like an inaccurate solution, so I'm s...

It will be fully insulated and have normal temperature settings (68-77 degrees F). Zone 3 is the other half of the existing baseme...
