Experience says that copying zones / buildings may lead to inconsistencies even

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi everyone<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am comparing energy performance of 3 glazing.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>At first I made up 1 building and copied 2 other buildings
from it.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Copied building has their own tmc and con files and they
share opr and ctl files with original one.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Height of building is 7.8 m and distance between buildings
is 10m.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>But when same glazing is applied to all 3 buildings, the
result was interesting.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Compared to original building, 2 copied buildings occurred
16 % more heating load, though there is no obstruction.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>But 2 copied one shows very similar pattern and load.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>When I look at room temperature, the original one has 0.5~2
degree higher temperature than copied one.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>copied one shows exactly same pattern. I guess adjacent
buildings affected the amount of solar penetration.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>As a second try, I placed copied building at 30m distance
from original one.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>But the result was same. it occurred 16% more heating load
than original one, and same temperature profile.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Does adjacent buildings affect the other, though I didn't
make and activate obstructions?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>If not, should 2 building which are close to each with same
condition show same result?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>In my case, do you have a comment on what I should look to
figure out what the reason is?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
