I am trying to understand the heating and cooling load calculation using building elements (roof, walls etc.) thermal properties like U value, R value etc.
For this
• I built simple model of four walls, roof and floor.

• Thermal properties of building elements

• My energy settings are as below. Note Detailed Elements is checked.

• No override is selected in Schematic Types
• Now whether I Check Detail Elements box in Advance Energy setting or I uncheck this box, I get the same results. This means calculation is always based on "Conceptual Types" and selecting "Detailed Elements" check box is not making any difference.
• My question is that what I am doing wrong that I am not getting heating and cooling load calculations based on material thermal properties specified for building elements?
Thanks
