Re: [TRNSYS-users] Opening between zones



Mohamed,

  I would recommend that you model the opening as an ADJACENT wall but then assign the materials of that wall to be purely resistive and to have a very low thermal resistance (r-value).

kind regards

Hi,

I am a new user of the TRNSYS 16 and what I have is two zones that share an opening. Like instead of having an adjacent wall or door, there is just an opening. 

so my question is: is it right to not enter that wall (the zones will be missing a wall) or there is a way to represent this kind of opening?

I attached a photo so you can understand the situation. note that Zone 1 (just a corridor) is not going to be heated and zone 2 (living room) is going to be. 


I hope I was clear enough. and thank you.
