Shiva,

  Adjacencies between rooms on the same level and adjacencies between 
floors are treated the same way in TRNBuild. There are two important 
pieces of information in this case:


1. the wall construction. This is a list of the layers that make up the 
wall and their respective thicknesses. The wall construction is given a 
name (such as OUTWALL, GROUND, INTFLOOR) but these are just names; they 
do not carry any information about where the walls are located in 
resepect to other walls in the building.

2. the wall category specifies how the wall is positioned. The choices 
are EXTERNAL (meaning that one side of the wall will receive solar 
radiation), ADJACENT (meaning that there are zones (airnodes) on both 
sides of the wall, BOUNDARY (which means that one side of the wall faces 
the zone and the other faces a known (and specified) boundary condition, 
and INTERNAL (which means that the wall is entirely contained inside a 
single zone.


kind regards,

  David
