    Virtual Walls

      Product(s): OpenBuildings Energy Simulator
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Area: Building Modelling
      Subarea: N/A

    Overview

    Virtual walls can be used should you wish to divide a room into several separate areas (which eventualy creates a scope for heat transfer), for instance if you wish to zone specific parts of a large open plan space individually.

    Method

    To enter a virtual wall, click on the Add Wall icon below, then select the room in question, and add the wall.

    For example, after adding a wall to divide room 2.1 below, the separate zones are listed in the project tree, and will be available for Zoning / Simulation, as rooms in their own right: 

    Please note that this applies to Dynamic Simulations only, ie:
