Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Building Area & Vine on the wall/roof

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

Yes, zone multipliers can be used to multiply similar zones.  So, 
yes, you could change the size of a building with just one parameter.

Modeling the shading effects of vines is something I have never done. 
 You may wish to ask that question in a more general modeling forum, 
such as bldg-sim@xxxxxxxx, where there are users of many different 
simulation tools.  Someone there may be able to offer some guidance 
on the subject.  To subscribe, send a message to
