[esp-r] Re: Walls Between Zones - keep them!!

[Jon Hand]

Your idea is not correct.  There are many examples of the correct appoach.  Browse and
of the cellular office example models.  You will see that each room is fully bounded and
partitions thus include one face in one zone and the other face in the other zone.  Also
the ESP-r Cookbook discusses the creation of multiple zones.

To say it another way - do not delete surfaces which make up partitions.

Subject: [esp-r]  Walls Between Zones

Dear All,

How should one model the walls between zones? As far as I understand,
ESP-r will enclose all zones completely will walls and the user needs to
delete from one of the zones if the walls are shared. Then, the
connection needs to be defined by using "surface in another zone."

In this process, does it matter from which zone one of the walls is
deleted? Also, what happens if both walls are left remaining in the model?

In addition, what do "BASEIMP foundation" and "CEN 13791 partition"
point to?
