The building I'm modelling in EnergyPlus is adjacent to other heated buildings. I modeled the other buildings, as adjacent thermal zones (Net part of total floor area set to No in the Zone object), with an ideal air system to keep a temperature setpoint. When I check the results, I see the consumption of the ideal air system included in the total consumption of my building. Is there a way to exclude it from total consumption, just like I am able to exclude its area from total building area? Or, would you better recommend to model it using Other Side Coefficients as boundary conditions?
