Is it possible to use ZoneMixing between non-adjacent zones?
I am currently attempting to simulate a model with five zones in EnergyPlus, as shown in the image. Air is sent from one zone (hereinafter referred to as the “transmitting zone”) to the remaining zones (hereinafter referred to as the “receiving zones”) through ducts, and air is returned from the receiving zones adjacent to the transmitting zone to the transmitting zone through ducts. There are always open doors between the transmitting zones, allowing air to flow naturally through them.
To simplify the setup as much as possible, I am considering using ZoneMixing. However, is it possible to use it between Zones that are not adjacent to each other? I have read multiple threads on UnmetHours, but all of them involved only two Zones.
If you're looking at ZoneMixing you probably also want to be aware of the issues raised in this thread.
Thank you very much. I read that thread. I tried simulating it using ZoneMixing. I'm not sure if it will be useful, but I'll share the graph of the results. Here
