However, I would strongly recommend first checking if you cannot reduce the number of zones in actually necessary in the model by combining thermally similar “real rooms” to one thermal zone. Keep in mind that bookkeeping for such a number of zones is exponentially error prone and time consuming.   Regards Achim     <DIV> <DIV style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-RIGHT: 0cm; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; PADDING-LEFT: 0cm; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0cm; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none"> From: esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk [mailto:esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk] On Behalf Of ???
