Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Other side coefficient

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

It all depends on what you are trying to answer in your simulation.  If the 
surrounding spaces are similar to the classrom you want to model and are 
conditioned to the same temperatures, then you may want to make the interior 
surfaces adiabatic.  For example Surface:HeatTransfer, Name=Wall1, 
OutsideFaceEnviornment=OtherZoneSurface, OutsideFace Environment Object=Wall1.  
Or you can model the surrounding spaces in their entirety as separate thermal 
zones if the conditions in those zones will be significantly different.
