Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] One Wall Surface coupled with Several Surfaces

Or you can let the program do this for you automatically (new v2.0 feature):

1.  In each office describe the wall next to the corridor using 
"unenteredOtherZoneSurface" and specify the Corridor as the outside face 
environment object.

2.  Do no describe any of these walls in the corridor zone - the 
"unenteredOtherZoneSurface" option will create them internally.  You can see 
them in output reports, but you do not need to describe them in the idf file.
