Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] About the transfer surface

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

To describe a non-rectangular surface, divide it into multiple rectangles 
and/or triangles.  There is no requirement that the floor (or roof or whatever) 
of a zone be described as a single surface.  

If the perimeter zone has windows, then I would recommend that you divide it 
into multiple perimeter zones in order to see the cooling peaks as the sun 
moves around the building.
