Defining vertical ducts

I have a basic question.

For a vertical duct (passage of utility pipes), can I use an HB plenum? This type does not actually allow air to pass through.

Or should I consider it a separate zone and put the condition input on the false?

or probably, i can not regard it as a internal mass?

Hi @Aliarch, everything I’m reading is saying to model it as a zone.
from what I’ve gathered: in EnergyPlus, a vertical shaft with no airflow is just another unconditioned zone with appropriate surfaces
Hopefully that’s helpful!
