[esp-r] thermal mass inside a zone + thickness of walls in geometry

[Hannah Neumann]

Dear all,

I have got two questions:

1) Is it possible to insert thermal mass into a zone? I would like to 
exchange the air inside the zone by thermal mass or at least insert 
thermal mass into the zone and reduce the amount of air inside the zone.
If yes, how can it be done?

2) Are the dimensions I define in the geometry-file the inside or the 
outside dimensions of a room? Means, is the thickness of the walls, that 
is defined in the construction-file in any way considered in the 
geometry of the zone?

Thank you very much for your help!
Best regards,
Hannah
