DesignBuilder Construction Model Data

DesignBuilder uses construction components to model the conduction of heat through opaque parts of the building envelope. Constructions can be selected on the Constructions model data tab (below) to define the thermophysical properties of the various internal and external walls, floors, roofs etc in the building.

The location of each of these aspects of the building construction is

illustrated below.
