Thank you for your response

2021-03-01 15:26:07 -0500 marked best answer simulating different spaces with the same thermal zone

when i simulate 4 different spaces with same thermal zone and insert internal gain of people by number of people 30 would energyplus calculate that 30 person in each space or will divide the number for the 4 spaces so i have to make it 30*4?

another question is when two spaces with the same thermal zone i found that the wall between them isn't located in building surface detailed can i add it manually in the idf editor (as i need to simulate PCM in this wall ) or i will get error?

2021-01-10 12:24:46 -0500 commented answer should i add shading surface group for each space or i can add one for all spaces

thank you for your detailed answer

2021-01-10 12:23:51 -0500 marked best answer should i add shading surface group for each space or i can add one for all spaces

when i simulate a floor should i make a shading surface group for each space or it is enough to draw a shading surface group for whole geometry at once ? which one is more correct and accurate?

and when should i draw shadding surface ? after matching geometry surfaces or before ? thanks in advance

when i want to simulate the 4th floor only in a multistory building what should i do when exporting idf file from sketchup and open studio to energyplus? should i only create the 4th floor or exporting the whole building and then choose 4th floor surfaces in idf editor ? thanks in advance
