[TRNSYS-users] Problem adjacent window in Winter garden

[David BRADLEY]

Toni,

   I was able to add a winter garden like the one in your picture. I had 
a little trouble in that I was forced to manually specify the 
construction of the windows on both the winter garden side and on the 
apartments side as being ADJ_WINDOW. As a side note, don't forget to 
draw the vertical lines that split the back side of the winter garden 
into four walls (one each adjacent with the apartments) and also don't 
forget to set the floor of the winter garden to be an external surface 
adjacent to outdoors; it's default is a GROUND_FLOOR which will give it 
an incorrect boundary temperature.

kind regards,

  David
