[Equest-users] Thermal Link????

I've used links in eQUEST, but never on the thermal zone. Basically a
link allows you to link the properties of an item to another similar
item. For instance - when you use it in windows, it allows you to derive
the properties of a window from another window (the parent item has to
be defined before the child item in the inp file otherwise you will get
an error). So for instance with windows - if I have a series of punched
openings on different facades, and I want to modify them all, I just
need to modify one, and they will all change. 

 

I assume with thermal zones you will link to the properties of another
zone. Probably useful if you have identical zones running on different
systems (otherwise you'd probably want to use the multiplier). 

 

I should add - if you link, you can modify individual properties within
the item.

Attached is a screengrab...

 

When you right-click a zone in detailed edit mode under 'Air-Side HVAC,'
you get the option to define a "thermal link" to another zone.

 

What exactly does this do in terms of modeling behavior?  

 

Does it create an "air wall" (or some other construction) between the
two zones?
