<p> Sorry for misinterpreting your question. I think you do need to delete the adjacent surfaces and get one large radiation zone that includes your stack of airnodes. Then you use the "coupling between airnodes" popup to define the rate at which air moves
from one of the air nodes to the other.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> If you drew your building in SketchUp you can draw in the adjacent surfaces between the airnodes and assign them as the "virtual surface" category option (sorry I can't check the exact language of the option; my SketchUp install is giving me problems right
now and I can't launch it to check). In any case if those "adjacent" surfaces are set as virtual then they won't be brought into the TRNBuild model and thus you won't have to delete them manually but will still have the integrity of the airnodes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>kind regards,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Loïc,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> The best way to address airflow within a building is to couple your Type56 simulation either with TRNFlow or CONTAM (Type97). The basic idea is that you build a parallel model to your Type56 containing information about the airflow openings between the
airnodes (a radiation zone can contain multiple airnodes, especially where there is an atrium like you have described). TRNFlow or CONTAM then take the air node temperatures as well as the wind speed and geometry of the building and determine the amount of
air flow that results between the air nodes. Large horizontal openings are challenging because both TRNFlow and CONTAM treat air flow through a horizontal opening as unidirectional. Still, it is by far the most rigorous way of treating the situation.<o:p></o:p></p>
