[TRNSYS-users] Maximum number of zones

[David BRADLEY]

Mohamed,
   I do not think that there is a hard limit on the number of zones that 
you can have in TRNBuild/Type56. There is a limitation of 999 surfaces 
for TRNBuild to work with though. I do not think that there is a limit 
to the number of shaders and I do not think that shaders count as 
surfaces as far as TRNBuild is concerned.

   In the largest building model that I have done to date, there were 60 
zones. The building was 5 stories tall and I did run into the 999 
surface limit so I had to group windows together so that I modeled one 
large window with equivalent properties instead of a number of smaller 
windows.
Best,
  David
