[esp-r] Accounting for furniture in ESP-r

[Tobias Zitzmann]

Hi,

We have modelled a room as one simple zone and would like to include 
obstacles like furniture or additional thermal mass within the zone.
Following the FAQ list about how to create furniture, we have conducted 
the following steps: (a) Creation of two surfaces back-to-back inside 
the zone (not attached to other bounding surfaces) (b) assignment of a 
material from the material database to each of the surfaces whereby the 
material contains only half of the total thickness, (c) boundary 
assignment using 'adiabatic' conditions.

Conducting a 'check surface-vertex topology' after step (a), an error is 
displayed which states that the 'enclosure is improperly bounded' and 
that 'edges between vertices... may be unbounded'. What is the exact 
procedure to solve this problem? Is it for example necessary to link the 
furniture surfaces to the enclosing surfaces somehow? Any advice is 
appreciated.
Regards

Tobias
