Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Internal surface

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

Each internal surface is described twice - once in each of the zones it 
separates.  The first layer in a construction is always the outside layer 
relative to the zone it is attached to.  Within a zone, the inside layer 
absorbs solar radiation which has entered the zone through windows.  See 
example file 5ZoneAuto.idf  It has five zones plus a plenum zone with interzone 
surfaces between all zones
