Resources on Materials:

• 2009 ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals

• DOE-2 software has a library of materials with characteristics, http://doe2.com/download/DOE-22/DOE22Vol4-Libraries.pdf

• Sustainable Home Refurbishment, David Thorpe, Earthscan expert issues (p 23) (mostly residential).

Note: it is possible to apply distinct materials to each zone surface as well. There are two methods of doing this: 1) building up the zones surface-by-surface as in the following: or 2) Creating the zones through Mass-to-Zones and then using the Honeybee_Set EP Zone Construction component to specify materials for each zone surface type. You can view these types using the Honeybee_Label Zone Surfaces component.
