a two level building with an open space (atrium) in the center using the
Sketchup plugin TRNSYS3D. The level 1 has a surface of 1600 m2, level two
1225m2 and the open space in the center is 125m2. Both levels have a height of

I have drawn two rectangular prisms (each one in one zone) sharing ceiling and

draw a 2D rectangle surface in both ceiling (level 1) and floor (level 2 ) and classify
these 2D rectangles as virtual surfaces with adjacencies.
