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

[Ömer Moltay]

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the information. Just realized I interpreted the Cookbook 
mistakenly. On p.48 there is instructions to delete walls, but of course 
they are copied again from another zone. So, in effect, each zone shall 
be totally enclosed in esp-r and connections shall be defined for each 
shared wall to determine the thermal flows (ie. "surface in another 
zone" connection option")?

Thanks,
