Detailed Description

Construction is a LayeredConstruction that wraps the EnergyPlus IDD object 'Construction'.

A Construction consists of a number of material layers, each of which should belong to the same base class: OpaqueMaterial, FenestrationMaterial, or ModelPartitionMaterial. In addition the layers must satisfy some restrictions in order to form a valid EnergyPlus construction, see the documentation for LayeredConstruction.
