How does EnergyPlus differentiate between inside and outside walls?

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to E+ so this might be a pretty basic question:

Can anyone explain to me, how EnergyPlus differentiates between inside and outside walls? For example if I want to simulate an office room that is part of a larger building, that has three inside walls and one wall facing outside (with an window).

As the temperature "on the other side of the wall" affects the wall temperature a lot and therefore also the temperature in the room I'm simulating I'm sure there is a way to include this.

Thanks a lot in advance!
