Shiva,
Adjacencies between rooms on the same level and adjacencies between floors are treated the same way in TRNBuild. There are two important pieces of information in this case:
1. the wall construction. This is a list of the layers that make up the wall and their respective thicknesses. The wall construction is given a name (such as OUTWALL, GROUND, INTFLOOR) but these are just names; they do not carry any information about where the walls are located in resepect to other walls in the building.
2. the wall category specifies how the wall is positioned. The choices are EXTERNAL (meaning that one side of the wall will receive solar radiation), ADJACENT (meaning that there are zones (airnodes) on both sides of the wall, BOUNDARY (which means that one side of the wall faces the zone and the other faces a known (and specified) boundary condition, and INTERNAL (which means that the wall is entirely contained inside a single zone.
kind regards,
David
Hello guys,
I am trying to build a building in Trnbuild with 2 floors. I am little confuse about the surfaces and walls. Some of you might help me with that. i checked restaurant example but its a single floor thus upper ceiling is roof but how does it work when one wants to build 2 or more floors. what option should i choose to make a ceiling between two floors in wall type or there is other way. Should i choose INTFLOOR or ROOF or Ground in wall type on Trnbuild? in category INTERNAL or ADJACENT ?
Br,
Shiva
