Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Door in wall top & bottom



If you have split your surface into 2 different constructions (and 
surfaces), then you will have to also split your door into 2 surfaces 
(with the same construction). Each surface of the split door should lie 
within the vertices of the corresponding surface it is attached to.
