Ragab,
In E+, you may be able to use the "NoMass" material for lightweight
fabric constructions. I've /not /got direct experience of using the
NoMass material but it seems the most common sense approach when thermal
mass is insignificant.
How well controlled is airflow? The less controlled (i.e. more natural
ventilation) the more computationally intense and error prone the solution.
