    Badreddine Dalal,<br>
      You either have a wall that is too massive (usually too thick) for
    the wall transfer function coefficients to be generated or you have
    a wall that is not massive enough. If you look at the very end of
    the *.inf file that is generated when you try to save your TRNBuild
    project, you will see the transfer function coefficients of the
    walls as they are being generated. Look at the last one in the list;
    that is the wall that is causing problems. If you have ruled out
    that its construction is too thermally massive (i.e. it has fairly
    typical materials and overall thickness) then the problem may be
    that the wall does not have enough mass. This is often true if you
    are modeling doors (especially garage doors) or metal roofs. If this
    is the case then you should consider the wall layers to be massless
    (in the TRNBuild layer manager) and account only for their R value
    (neglecting their ability to store energy)<br>
