RSI Thermal performance

[SHCanada2]

I've been playing around with different methods for awhile, trying to tie in the wall, ceiling and floor assemblies to just using one value specified once, and not doing any math.

 

Easier said then done, and really I think not possible(or maybe better put, not without being convoluted) to coordinate with the actual CA walls, floors, as there are always some bizzare exception (required bulkhead below a bonus room comes to mind)

 

Here is another method:

1. setup notes with a couple custom fields (RSI, R), and a description of the component

2. have those all available to pick from

3. add/take them away from different schedules (walls, ceiling, floor)

 

The video shows where I started, walls, but the end game is all three.

 

Couple unfortunate side effects Ive noticed. If you add first and then remove a component, in which you want the one replaced, you  need to then grab the schedule row and ensure correct order. it seems to work better if you remove for instance vinyl siding and then add cement board

 

A nice advantage of this method, components can be added to multiple schedules, so interior air film is only there once.

 

Other advantage, the description on the available components can be as detailed as you want, for instance interior air film (wall), but the text shown in the schedule can just be interior air film if you want

here is what it would look like...of course it always seems like it is never ending adding new assemblies, and where one takes a component from may differ from source to source. I started a while ago to state where I get the cavity RSI from
