RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] How to partition a workshop place with large areas into many small zones??

Just do it.  You'll get some warnings about Zones that don't have six
surfaces but these can be ignored.  

 

The HVAC system(s) will need to condition each zone separately.  This
can cause some simulation run time issues if you go with too many
separate zones.  Also note the 50 zone limit on multizone systems. 

 

A simple way to model the effect of air exchanges between adjacent open
plan zones is to use pairs of Mixing objects (if you can guess what the
air flow rates might be).  Otherwise there is the Airflow Network.

 

Note that thermal radiation cannot (yet) be exchanged across separate
thermal zones (so an inner work area won't be modeled as exposed to a
cold or hot window in the adjacent zone).

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] How to partition a workshop place with
large areas into many small zones??

 

Dear all

Workshops always have large area, and have no partition in them. The 
tempertrue of different spots will be very different. May I should 
partition workshop into many small zones and gain each temperature, but 
how can I achieve this function by Energyplus.
Thank you for your help~!~
