Surfaces such as the Partition tree object occupy the next highest position in the hierarchy below that of the Room tree object.

The Surface: Partition object is located on the AECOsim Energy Simulator Project Tree dialog tree diagram.

There are multiple surface types such as walls, partitions, floors, windows and doors, surface components, each with a common set of data properties and a unique set of special properties.

The Partition object, when selected, provides an entry point to the surface data on the Properties For: Partition dialog. Here, you can view basic surface data such as the surface category and sub-type (Partition) as well as dimensional data. The Partition’s Construction details are displayed in several sub-panels. The Partition has special properties related to its construction. These special properties when manipulated, affect the thermal calculations and energy simulations that are performed on the project building.
