Therm Material to Energy Plus Material
Use this component to create a custom opaque material, which can be plugged into the "Honeybee_EnergyPlus Construction" component.
This component requires you to know a lot of the characteristics of the material and, you may want to borrow some characteristcs of a similar material in the library. Use the "Honeybee_Call From EP Construction Library" and the "Honeybee_Decompose EP Material" to help with this.
If you are not able to find all of the necessary material characteristcs and your desired material is relatively light, it might be easier for you to use a "Honeybee_EnergyPlus NoMass Opaque Material."
