Hello, I am currently working on a project involving TRNSYS simulations for energy modeling in buildings. I've encountered a challenge with defining thermal zones in areas with complex geometries, particularly corridors and irregularly shaped rooms. These areas are proving difficult to model accurately due to their unique shapes and varying thermal characteristics.
Could anyone share insights or methodologies for effectively defining thermal zones in such complex building areas? Are there best practices or simplification techniques that maintain a balance between accuracy and practicality in the simulation? I am especially interested in any case studies, research, or personal experiences that could guide me in this aspect of building energy modeling.
Thank you in advance for your assistance and insights!
