[EnergyPlus_Support] Airflow Network through multizones

["sofie_mols" <sofie_mols@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear everyone,

I am trying to evaluate the thermal comfort of an appartment building.
I want to use the airflownetwork system; I have tried this already for
a simple box model consisting out of only 2 zones and it works
perfectly. But when I try the excact same thing for a multizone
building then it doesn't work any more and I always have the same error: 

** Severe  ** GetAirflowNetworkInput: AirflowNetwork:Multizone:Surface
object, Surface=1-WINDOWZ1
   **   ~~~   ** ..Zone for outside surface must be defined in a
AirflowNetwork:MultiZone:Zone object.  Could not find Zone=Zone1

I have used the surface average method to calculate my pressure
values, so I don't have to define any external nodes.

Does anyone of you might know what I do wrong or is it simply
impossible to calculate the airflow through multiple zones?

Thanks in advance!

Sofie
