[EnergyPlus_Support] multi building case

["bbuenounzeta" <bbueno@xxxxxx>]

Hi! I am studing EnergyPlus capabilities to model interaction between 
buildings. I know I can model one building and then some reflective 
and/or shadowing polygons around it. In this way, I lose the longwave 
radiation between the buildings because it is assumed polygons are at 
outside temperature. so my question is:

Is it possible to model two separated buildings as two zones? I mean, 
are they going to "see" each other for reflections and shadows?

If you know someone who has already studied multibuilding problems, 
please give me the reference.

Thank you

Bruno
