6.1.29.1 Methods Defined Here

add_layer(material_id, is_cavity)

Add a layer to this construction

delete_layer(layer_id)

Delete a layer from this construction

get_default_resistances ()

Get default surface resistances for different methodologies

get_g_values()

Get the different g-values as a dictionary.

Dictionary entries are:

bs_en_410	(float)
building_regulations	(float)
bfrc	(float)

get_layers()

Get a list of layers in this CDB construction

get_properties(u_value_types (optional))

Get a dict of the properties of this CDB construction. The result depends on the optional U value type parameter of type uvalue_types. If no parameter is specified the U value type set in the Project Constructions dialog is used.

get_review_summary_string(...)

Get a summary of this CDB construction as a formatted string. Units are converted to local display preferences.

get_u_factor(uvalue_types)

Get the U Factor of this CDB construction.

The result depends on the U value type parameter of type uvalue_types.

insert_layer(layer_id, insert_before)

Insert a layer into this construction

set_const_class(construction_class)

Set construction class of this CDB construction. See 'construction_class' enum for possible values.

set_f_factor(ffactor)

Set F Factor of this CDB construction

set_properties(properties)
