The placement of solar gains can be very important, especially if the perimeter zone is shallow. Using FullInteriorlandExterior plus an interior window in the plane that separates the two zones will transmit solar into the adjacent zone. If the two zones are conditioned to the same temperature, then the mixing will do very little, and the perimeter zone will keep a greater portion of the solar gains than it would with a true opening between the zones.
