Hello All
I am modelling the thermal upgrade of a flat ceiling, to a large attic space above. Does anyone have any references or thoughts on modelling the external condition on the ceiling i.e. the attic? Simply adding a surface resistance does not account for the extremely high temperatures and humidity that that can occur in these spaces
Any thoughts welcome!

Re: Ventilated Attic Space
Hi sfenton,
simplest way would be to use outdoor climate with a temperature shift.
We performed research on this topic some time ago, but this is only published in German up to now. There a model for non-ventilated attics was developed.
