Anne-Kathrin, For 1, I would suggest that you ignore the windows in the basement as far as Trnsys3D is concerned. My guess is that their impact on the house will be more significant as a source of energy conduction and less as a solar gain to the basement. Because of that, I would treat them as a small (opaque) wall instead of as a window. Once you get to TRNBuild, you can associate them with some thermal properties that account for the thermal insulation of the glass but doesn't bother with the light transmittance. For 2, I am not sure there is a specific tool. In TRNBuild, you should be able to tell what zone they are part of. I would then hide all the other zones in the Trnsys3D project. If the remaining zone isn't too complicated, you can always delete it and start over. You might also be able to look at the *.idf file itself (which is text) to determine the surface name (a bunch of letters and numbers) that have been associated with the surface.
