Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] single zone building

[Drury B Crawley <dbcrawley@xxxxxxxxx>]

It has to do more with how the building is conditioned.  If the sensors (thermostats) are in separate areas and they control cooling, heating or ventilation based on separate areas, then you should separate the building into those zones.  If it really is controlled as a single zone, then one thermostat and no walls inside that zone are necessary.  But remember that walls and furniture, etc. do have thermal mass, which you should account for.

Hello,

1) If my building is a single zone building, is it still necessary to enter the surfaces which are between two different rooms but belonging to same zone

2) How do we guess how many zones a building should have, like my building is supposed to be maintained at same temperature throughout so should it be a single zone building even if the loads are different for different rooms

Thank You,

Sincerely,

Rohit
