Greenhouse Residence: natural ventilation & adjacent conditions

Post by JulesAA »

Hi all,

I am working on my dissertation and I am modelling a "greenhouse residence", i.e. a common dwelling surrounded by a glass cover.

In IES VE, the greenhouse box is modelled as a separate room and does not adjoin any room of the main building. (there is a 2.5m distance between the core building and the glass box)

Regarding the natural ventilation for the building rooms, the adjacent condition should normally be the air of the greenhouse.

The problem is that when I select as an adjacent condition for natural ventilation "Ventilation from Adjacent Room", the option of the greenhouse as a room does not exist!

Apache > (select a room) > Query > Air Exchange tab > Adjacent Condition: Ventilation from Adjacent Room > Adjacent Room

What can I do?
