Attributes

QName Type Fixed Default Use Inheritable Annotation
floorCategory floorCategoryEnum optional 
Specifies the type of floor being considered, which affects both the heating and the cooling loads. See Table 4A, pages T4A-27 and following, ACCA Manual J Eighth Edition.
floorCrawlSpaceIsSealed xsd:boolean optional 
Specifies whether or not the crawl space wall associated with this floor is well sealed from the outdoor air, which affects both the heating and cooling loads. See Figure A5-5, page A5-8, and Figure A5-17 page A5-16, ACCA Manual J Eighth Edition.
floorCrawlSpaceWallUValue xsd:float optional 
Specifies the u-value of the crawl space wall that is associated with the floor, which affects both the heating and cooling load. See Figure A5-5, page A5-8, and Figure A5-17, page A5-16, ACCA Manual J Eighth Edition.
floorIsRadiant xsd:boolean optional 
Specifies whether or not to use a higher heating temperature difference value in calculating the heating loss for a floor (25 degrees F higher value is used in formula if floor is radiant). See Figure A5-5, page A5-8, ACCA Manual J Eighth Edition.
roofCLTDIndex roofCLTDIndexEnum optional 
Specifies the array of CLTD values to use for the roof, which determines how quickly the roof delivers heat into the space. See Table 4A page T4A-18 and following, ACCA Manual J Eighth Edition.
wallGroupManualJ wallGroupManualJEnum optional 
Specifies the group code for the wall, which determines how quickly the wall delivers heat into the space. See Table 4C, page T4C-1 ACCA Manual J Eighth Edition.
