Radiation in crawlspace

Hi,

Is it possible to account for the radiative transfer between the cold soil in a crawlspace and the floor assembly?
I have tried the Long wave radiation exchange in cavity with 0.95 on the soil side and 0.85 on the gypsum side. I have assumed a space of 1m between the soil and the floor and I have tried assigning Void to it and an air layer as well.

Thank you,

Camille

Hello,

Using the longwave radiation source model is the correct way. This source model can only be assigned to a air space. That means you need to assige air as material to your crawl space.
