6.5.10 Heat Transfer between Thermal Blocks

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.

Partition Construction
Applicability	All partitions
Definition	A description of the construction assembly for the partition
Units	Data structure: construction assembly
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.
