[TRNSYS-users] Modeling of a urban canyon with Trnsys

[Diego A. Arias]

Hi Guillaume,

In TRNBuil you can add a window that is not attached to a wall. Open a 
zone definition window; look that in the pane 'walls' the first option 
is 'Additional windows'. Just select it, and then go to the button 'Add' 
under the pane 'Windows'.
Best regards,

Diego
