Class Method Details

.filter_core_zones(thermal_zones) ⇒ Array<OpenStudio::Model::ThermalZone] an array of zones

This method will filter an array of zones that have no external wall passed floors. Note: if you wish to avoid to create an array of spaces, simply put the space variable in [] brackets Ex: ( [space1,space2] )
