[EnergyPlus_Support] Minimum zone size that can be simulated in energy plus

["barmansankar45@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

I am using Energy plus software for the thermal simulation of a room having double skin facade (DSF) in south direction. 

In order to determine the temperature of each surfaces of the DSF and more I have considered it as a separate thermal zone. However, the size  (H*L*W) of the thermal zone is only  250*180*1.3 cm. Here 1.3 cm is air cavity thickness. 

In the literature thermal zone of size (H*L*W), 20*170*20 cm can found. For example: http://www. sciencedirect.com/science/ article/pii/S0378778814001571

The question is upto what minimum zone size the energy plus can simulate accurately?

Is there any reference document in this regards?

Thank you
