Franck,
It is not possible to use two instances of the basement preprocessor while using the “GroundHeatTransfer:Control” object. I would suggest using the basement program twice to generate two sets of temperature profiles (one for each the basement and the crawlspace). When calculating the area-to-perimeter ratio, use the perimeter of each space that is adjacent to the exterior (ignore any perimeter shared by the two zones).

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] How to simulate a building having a basement and a crowl space
Hello,
I have a building, floor of 180 m², and under it,
- a ceilar 50m² (2.5 meter height, closed, and slightly ventilated, for wine and potatoes)
- a crawl space 130 m² (0.8 meter heigh, ventilated).
I planned to use the Basement program, but is it possible to use 2 instances ? One for ceilar, one for the crawl ?
I'm not using slab, because it will not give good results, as the crawl is ventilated.
Any idea ?
Best regards,
Franck Janin
