This report provides a detailed analysis is conducted on the process of developing building envelope components within EnergyPlus environment with the aim of identifying required input data and the design correlates for opaque and transparent assemblies. Alternative envelope model definition methods are discussed and explained through schemas developed to reveal relationships (hierarchies) between EnergyPlus classes and objects pertaining to a specific definition method.
