Exterior walls in FLEXLAB test cells

### Information

This package contains constructions defining exterior walls used in FLEXLAB test cells. The following table lists locations in FLEXLAB test cells where the constructions are used. Locations of walls in UF90XR are described assuming that the windows are facing south. Some of the constructions are combined into single packages because they are, from a thermal point of view, functionally identical.

Construction | Test Cell | Wall
--- | --- | ---
Construction1 | All test cells: UF90XRA: UF90XRB: UF90X1A: | North wall of the closet West exterior wall East exterior wall West exterior wall
Construction2 | UF90X2: | South exterior wall
Construction3 | All test cells: | North wall of electrical room
Construction5and8 | UF90XRB: | North exterior and south exterior
Construction9 | UF90X1: | South exterior wall
Construction10 | UF90X3: | South exterior wall
