Problem description
The partition definition list is missing U values for ground level partitions.
Solution
In the calculations of partitions at the ground, the U value is not used, but the thermal resistance, the component of which is the resistance of the adjacent ground. However, this value depends on several factors related to the location of the partition. Therefore, for these partitions we are not able to specify any R or U value in the list of partition definitions independent of location.
However, the heat losses themselves are calculated according to the standard selected in the Heat loss to ground calculation method.
