Is there a way to customize the construction sets by adding new material layers to the current library?
Hi @pradipta,
Yes. You can customize materials, constructions, and construction-sets. The easiest way to create a new construction-set is to duplicate an existing construction-set and then try to edit it.

Hi Mostapha, thanks for your prompt reply. I have done this process where we can select the set of the construction assembly from the existing library and prepare a new material set. But if we want to select a material which is not present in the choice list and we want to create a fundamental material itself which is nowhere loaded in the pollination, what will be the probable solution in that case?
Similarly, you can create custom materials and constructions.
There is a hierarchy in how Eneregyplus deals with materials and constructions.
-
The first item in the hierarchy is material. You can edit existing materials or create new ones using the Energy Materials menu.
-
Then you can put the materials together to create constructions. Similarly, there is a construction manager. A construction can have one or more layers of materials.
-
Finally, construction-set allows you to map different constructions to different face types. You can use any of the constructions that you have created using the construction manager.
You can also do this by editing text files but I imagine that’s not what you were asking for.
