[EnergyPlus_Support] Thermal bridging/Edge losses

Dear All

Anyone know the best way to include the extra conductance associated 
with 'corners' for a room (sometimes known as edge losses) in 
EnergyPlus?

I've seen a previous post suggesting typical bridging (e.g. stud walls) 
should be done by adding a surface of the correct size and thermal 
properties, or, by modifiying the overall thermal properties of a 
single 'composite' surface. Is this still the best way?

Is there a way to include the concept of linear thermal resistance 
(W/mK) given edge lengths?

Thanks
David.
