Giulio,
That is exactly the correct way to model the situation. Actually
because Type56 (in TRNSYS 16) is a non-geometrical model (and therefore
doesn't care where walls are in relation to one another) you can treat
all four walls as though it were one wall with the total area (provided
that they all have the same construction of course). I usually keep it
as four walls for clarity but mathematically it is the same.
Best,
David

Good morning David,
My name is Giulio Allesina, I am a PhD student at the university of
Modena ; we are trnsys users (we use trnsys16 version) and we also
bought almost all the tess libraries. An old student of the University
of Modena (Chiara Lodi) gave me your contact.
I have to make a simulation of a building composed by two zones where
one thermal zone is totally included in the other (which are the stairs
inside the building). In order to simulate this with the type 56, I am
not sure if the correct way to make it is by defining only 2 thermal
zones and for both zones defining 4 adjacent walls (of course for the
external zone I will also define the external walls).
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
