<p class="MsoNormal">Dear community,<br>
I am currently searching for references that explain thermal zoning and provide guidelines for the spatial subdivision, especially for early design. <br>
Any suggestions that go beyond the short list below, are greatly appreciated.<br>
Thanks a lot in advance,<br>
Timur<br>
