[EnergyPlus_Support] Help : Simulation of External Zone

[rachit kumar <archi_rachit@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I am trying to understand the thermal comfort of the courtyard with varying proportions, height, glazing (building glazing adjacent to courtyard) in different climatic zones of India. I want to study the thermal comfort only till 10 feet height of the courtyard from ground level (average temperature of the courtyard zone till 10 feet height).

So few questions regarding model and simulation tools:
1) How to make a open courtyard as a zone? Courtyard is a part of building.
2) I need to make a virtual horizontal partition in the courtyard at a height of 10 feet from ground floor.

I don't want to use CFD because I am interested in hourly thermal performance of the courtyard and want to find the comfortable hours throughout the year. Kindly help me.

Thanks

Rachit
