Sorry I've just found the answer to my first question!

Can someone throw some light onto my second question then?

Thanks

Hi IES,
I have two floors modelled that I now wish to produce separate EPCs for (the client changed his marketing).

1) How do I 'switch off' zones to focus the analysis only on the remaining floor?

I just needed to know where to look.

Thanks for ...

Hi All,
for Part L/SBEM purposes, how do you model a neighbouring building?
This would be so that the party wall is adiabatic, ie no heat loss.

I've tried using the 'neighbouring building' classification but when I then look at the adjacencies for that relevant wall it is still showing 'external ...

thanks for the quick reply.
