Thanks Chun, that helps me a lot! I just need to remember ro manually set these constructions whenever I make changes. I

Hi All,

this is my first time posting here, but I have run into an issue with a new project I am involved in. We were asked to assess a library in terms of South African energy efficiency regulations, and the design has a fairly odd lightweight bulkhead design which tappers upwards towards the wall plate level in order to accommodate high level windows.

At first I modeled it as a separate zone, but then DesignBuilder detects the tapered edges as internal walls. I figure it should be ok to just manually set those surfaces to the required construction, (Rhinoboard), but I don't know if this will skew results in any other way.

My other thought is to model the bulkhead as a single component instead of a zone, but surely this must be a bad idea?

Kind regards, Jadin

You definitely have a very large amount of zones. What I have done, which is also the recommendation in the manual, is t
