<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>• In Trnsys3d, all

infinitesimally thin. Zone volume and surface area, which are <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>automatically
calculated entities, are derived from those 3-D coordinates. However, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>you may modify the
volume within TRNbuild. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

that you select for each surface determines the thickness for the <o:p></o:p></span></p>

for adjacent walls. At the building corners, measuring from the <o:p></o:p></span></p>

the total mass of the walls, while measuring from the <o:p></o:p></span></p>

underestimate it. It is easier to measure the outside edge from the <o:p></o:p></span></p>

measuring from the centerline is the more accurate approach. If the <o:p></o:p></span></p>
