<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I’m trying to model the building that
you can find in the appendix. The building consists of 4 floors with on the
right and the left side each time an landscape office. The offices are
connected by an atrium.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The purpose of the simulation is to
calculate the energy needs per office.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Is it best to model the atrium as one
space? But normally the temperature of the atrium at the height of the ground
floor differs a lot from the temperature of the atrium at the height of the
third level. (the roof consist only of windows). How can I take this difference
in temperature for the atrium into account? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The solution is maybe to split the atrium
in 4 different volume zones (per level). But how do I connect these different
zones, because there is no floor between them. Is this possible in Trnsys?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
