Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Geometry

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

Lourenço:

The floor of an L-shaped room can be modeled as two rectangles.  You 
say the program didn't like that.  What error message did you get 
when you tried that?

Subsurfaces must be rectangular, so your round window should be 
modeled as a square of equivalent area.

Room volume is active and it is used to determine the thermal 
capacitance of the room air.
