Hi @chris i hope you are doing well
I think there is a bit of a complicated issue with the airflow for Honeybee.
According to the figure, I want to have a room with a false ceiling connected by small apertures to a zone (e.g. an atrium) so that the airflow is provided by operable windows.
Well there is an error from AFN which I guess is a conflict between the skylight and the vertical windows. Can this be fixed?
(1. The following exterior operable apertures are within 10 degrees of being horizontal.
These cannot be simulated in EnergyPlus and so they have been set to be inoperable:
Room_45_d4c2eb5d…Face5_Glz0)
And more importantly, to create the holes I could not use closed breps. I had to proceed from the surface to surface recipe. But I do not know if this is correct in terms of thermal calculations. Because it seems that the false ceiling should be considered as a ceiling and not a roof. Or it would be better to have the false ceiling space itself as an unconditioned zone. But after much effort this was not possible.
can you take a look at my file please ?
thanks in advance
