How to model rooms combined as a single zone? Should they have partition wall between them or not? Obviously this will only apply to the rooms which are adjacent to each other not the one which are apart but considered as same zone.If adjacent rooms are kept at same conditions then those partition walls will act like adiabatic walls (no heat transfer). How you guys model this situation?
Also, do you guys model doors? Does modelling them has large impact on energy consumption? I am just trying to save some computational time and was thinking of different options. Any ideas to reduce computational time will be appreciated as well. :)
In OpenStudio, you can combine multiple spaces (modeled as individual volumes, with their own internal load values) that have similar temperature setpoints and HVAC equipment into a single thermal zone. If the spaces have adjacent surfaces, OpenStudio will translate those surfaces to Internal Mass objects in EnergyPlus, calculated from the surface constructions.
The impact of doors would likely depend on the size of the building and number of doors. I've typically neglected them for large whole-building models. I imagine they add to simulation time as any additional surface would.
Also, just to mention, my model take a bit longer to simulate if I combine rooms into different zones and when I leave each room as a separate zone then the computation time is a bit less (half a minute difference). Any ideas, which is the best practice (leave rooms as separate zones or combine them)?
As a consultant primarily using OS I include partition walls to account for thermal mass. Whether or not the spaces are grouped into a single thermal zone depends on the actual HVAC design and modeling simplifications I might choose. For example, when working on a large model (800,000+ ft2 currently) I would group thermal zones by exposure and use zone multipliers to reduce sim time.
Yes, it's meant to be used when the model has multiple zones with the same attributes. It's important to differentiate between spaces and zones. Spaces are unique to OS providing a way to partition zones and can be thought of as a child object of an EP zone. I don't know what you're trying to model - a research scenario or a design scenario - so I can't comment on which approach is more appropriate, combining rooms into a single zone or separating into individual zones. What equipment is serving the rooms/zones and where are the thermostats?

Abstract: The first phase of the NEES Nonstructural Gran Challenge Project tested full-scale cold-formed steel-framed gypsum partition walls using the University at Buffalo Nonstructural Component Simulator (UB-NCS). A description and experimental results for 22 different partition wall configurations is given. The experimental data are used to populate an extensive seismic fragility database for cold-formed steel-framed gypsum partition walls. Parameters for a tri-linear hysteretic model, aimed at reproducing the in-plane mechanical behavior of partition walls, are determined from the experimentally obtained force-displacement curves. Recommended parameters for in-plane walls are given for individual configurations and cold-formed steel-framed nonstructural partition walls. The calibrated partition wall models are combined with the structural model of an existing four-story steel moment-resisting frame (MRF) medical facility to demonstrate the effect on dynamic properties. As the period of the structure reduces due to the increased stiffness from partition wall systems, reductions in drift and absolute floor accelerations are observed. The assumption that these wall systems have negligible impact is disproven by the use of incremental dynamic analyses (IDA) performed according to the FEMA P695 methodology. These analyses show that including the contribution of steel stud gypsum partition walls to the lateral force-resisting system increases the building collapse safety margin by 32 percent.
In this paper, a modification of the diffusion model for room acoustics is proposed to account for sound transmission between two rooms, a source room and an adjacent room, which are coupled through a partition wall. A system of two diffusion equations, one for each room, together with a set of two boundary conditions, one for the partition wall and one for the other walls of a room, is obtained and numerically solved. The modified diffusion model is validated by numerical comparisons with the statistical theory for several coupled-room configurations by varying the coupling area surface, the absorption coefficient of each room, and the volume of the adjacent room. An experimental comparison is also carried out for two coupled classrooms. The modified diffusion model results agree very well with both the statistical theory and the experimental data. The diffusion model can then be used as an alternative to the statistical theory, especially when the statistical theory is not applicable, that is, when the reverberant sound field is not diffuse. Moreover, the diffusion model allows the prediction of the spatial distribution of sound energy within each coupled room, while the statistical theory gives only one sound level for each room.

Abstract:The prefabricated cement-based partition wall has been widely used in assembled buildings because of its high manufacturing efficiency, high-quality surface, and simple and convenient construction process. In this paper, a general porous partition wall that is made from cement-based materials was proposed to meet the optimal mechanical and thermal performance during transportation, construction and its service life. The porosity of the proposed partition wall is formed by elliptic-cylinder-type cavities. The finite element method was used to investigate the mechanical and thermal behaviour, which shows that the proposed model has distinct advantages over the current partition wall that is used in the building industry. It is found that, by controlling the eccentricity of the elliptic-cylinder cavities, the proposed wall stiffness can be adjusted to respond to the imposed loads and to improve the thermal performance, which can be used for the optimum design. Finally, design guidance is provided to obtain the optimal mechanical and thermal performance. The proposed model could be used as a promising candidate for partition wall in the building industry.Keywords: porous materials; mechanical properties; cement-based materials; thermal analysis; partition wall; finite element method
Empirical design is a procedure of proportioning and sizing unreinforced masonry elements based on known historical performance for a given application. Empirical provisions preceded the development of engineered masonry design, and can be traced back several centuries. This approach to design is based on historical experience in lieu of analytical methods. It has proven to be an expedient design method for typical loadbearing structures subjected to relatively small wind loads and located in areas of low seismic risk. Empirical design has also been used extensively for the design of exterior curtain walls and interior partitions.
