Energy Plus No Mass Opaque Material

Use this component to create a custom opaque material that has no mass, which can be plugged into the "Honeybee_EnergyPlus Construction" component.
It is important to note that this component creates a material with no mass and, because of this, the accuracy of the component is not as great as a material that has mass. However, this component is very useful if you only have an R-value for a material (or a construction) and you know that the mass is relatively small.
If you want to create a material that accounts for mass, you should use the "Honeybee_EnergyPlus Window Material" component.

Inputs

Name	ID	Description	Type
Name	_name	A text name for your NoMass Opaque Material.	Goo
Roughness	_roughness_	A text value that indicated the roughness of your material. This can be either "VeryRough", "Rough", "MediumRough", "MediumSmooth", "Smooth", and "VerySmooth". The default is set to "Rough".	Goo
R Value	_R_Value	A number representing the R-Value of the material in m2-K/W.	Goo
Therm Absp	_thermAbsp_	An number between 0 and 1 that represents the thermal abstorptance of the material. The default is set to 0.9, which is common for most non-metallic materials.	Goo
Sol Absp	_solAbsp_	An number between 0 and 1 that represents the abstorptance of solar radiation by the material. The default is set to 0.7, which is common for most non-metallic materials.	Goo
Vis Absp	_visAbsp_	An number between 0 and 1 that represents the abstorptance of visible light by the material. The default is set to 0.7, which is common for most non-metallic materials.	Goo
