Hello,<br>
<br>
<i>Virtual partition: a transparent partition with no mass and no
thermal resistance. If the simulation employs an air flow network
it may also be considered as a hole allowing air to pass through
the partition. Usually used to define a perimeter zone. (BTW this
isn't quoting any source, just what I understand!)</i><br>
<br>
I feel I may be describing a cultural nuance of energy modelling in
the UK. So I'd like to ask the following:<br>
<ul>
<li>Do engineers in countries apart from the UK use "virtual
partitions"?</li>
<li>What benefits do virtual partitions have over physical
partitions?</li>
</ul>
Any other comments will be gratefully received.<br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>
