Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] defining surfaces

Your first analysis should be attempting to mitigate as many of the 
nooks and crannies in a surface as possible.  (Since you may not be 
English speaking native or not familiar with the idioms -- I'm trying 
to say represent the surface without all the details of specific geometry).

You also may want to peruse the "composite constructions" data set -- 
where you can get possibly a wall construction very close to yours or 
ideas on how to define a composite construction for your building parts.

It sounds as though you have quite heavy construction -- the detailed 
description is probably not needed but you can always apply more 
detail if you desire.  Or take a simple structure first with simple 
"composites: and try a more detailed -- compare the results.

I believe something like this explanation is covered in the 
GettingStarted document.
