Description

Enhancement Request

Here is a link to comment in design document
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AMGe_PhBmAvygvrZgEigpYEeIAjUqySVwtfJb3Jf0is/edit?disco=AAAAAd4xX2g

Detailed Description

When we added PV we neglected to support vented cavities so while we can support PV directly attached to an exterior wall exposed surfaces, we don't support the most common use case for walls of PV on a vented cavity.

Possible Implementation

Add new object and integrate with existing PV functionality

Research direction

Start with the linked design-document comment and then inspect the existing PV functionality to identify the integration points. Define the new IntegratedExteriorVentedCavity object and its integration with PV support; done means walls with PV on a vented cavity are represented and supported.
