Justine,
  The answer to your question depends a little on the nature of your 
vantilated facade. If you have a fairly deep facade (>1m perhaps) then I 
would model the facade space as another thermal zone in your Type56 
building. If your facade is very narrow then you can use Type 36 coupled 
with Type56. The trick with making your facade a zone in the building is 
to assess the air flow through the facade. Ideally, you would couple the 
thermal model with one of the building air-flow models that are 
available (COMIS, TRNFlow, or CONTAM (Type97).
Best,
 david
