Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] big zones - voids?

Hi Linda,
 
Thanks a lot for the answer.
In case I choose to leave out the walls and run a free float simulation, will E+ account for heat exchange between the 2 zones? Do I need to specify sth that simulate mass flow from one zone to the other?
 
Once again thanks for the help
 
Best regards,
 
Clarice

If the zones are all conditioned at the same temperature, basically 
there is no "heat exchange" between zones.  One should account for 
the thermal interior mass (e.g. furniture, partitions, etc) by 
including internal mass objects.
