Partition Name |
|
|---|---|
|
Applicability |
All partitions, optional |
|
Definition |
A unique name or code that relates the partition to the construction documents. |
|
Units |
Text, unique |
|
Input Restrictions |
The text should provide a key to the construction documents. |
|
Baseline Rules |
Not applicable |
|
Partition Geometry |
|
|---|---|
|
Applicability |
All partitions |
|
Definition |
A geometric construct that defines the position and size of partitions that separate one thermal block from another. The construct shall identify the thermal blocks on each side of the partition. Since solar gains are not generally significant for interior partitions, the geometry of partitions is sometimes specified as just an area along with identification of the thermal blocks on each side. |
|
Units |
Data structure: surface with additional information identifying the two thermal blocks that the partition separates. |
|
Input Restrictions |
No restrictions other than agreement with the construction documents |
|
Baseline Rules |
The geometry of partitions in the baseline building shall be identical to the proposed design. |

Input Restrictions |
No restrictions other than the need for agreement with the construction documents |
|
Baseline Rules |
Partitions in the baseline building shall be steel framed walls with 5/8 in. gypsum board on each side. |

Definition |
A geometric construct that defines the position and size of partitions that separate one thermal zone from another. The construct shall identify the thermal zones on each side of the partition. Since solar gains are not generally significant for interior partitions, the geometry of partitions is sometimes specified as just an area along with identification of the thermal zones on each side. |

Units |
Data structure: construction assembly |
|
Input Restrictions |
No restrictions other than the need for agreement with the construction documents. However, “virtual” air walls may be used to separate zones, where real perimeter zones and interior zones are defined within an open space. |
|
Baseline Building |
Interior walls for baseline should be same as proposed. Interior floors/ceilings shall be same as proposed |
