Exterior walls in FLEXLAB test cells

Information

This package contains constructions defining exterior walls used in FLEXLAB test cells. The following table lists locations in FLEXLAB test cells where the constructions are used. Locations of walls in UF90XR are described assuming that the windows are facing south. Some of the constructions are combined into single packages because they are, from a thermal point of view, functionally identical.

Construction	Test Cell	Wall
Construction1	All test cells: UF90XRA: UF90XRB: UF90X1A:	North wall of the closet West exterior wall East exterior wall West exterior wall
Construction2	UF90X2:	South exterior wall
Construction3	All test cells:	North wall of electrical room
Construction5and8	UF90XRB:	North exterior and south exterior
Construction9	UF90X1:	South exterior wall
Construction10	UF90X3:	South exterior wall
Construction17and24	UF90XRA:	North exterior and south exterior
