how i am supposed to model it.
plz guide me.
any help is appreciated.

Hi Ashok,
There are various approaches to ?atrium? type core spaces. See attached for one discussion that should help.
Don?t forget the archive search pages should be on your favorite/bookmark list: There are many more discussions like this covering multi-story spaces/zones:

http://bepan.info/proj-bldgs/p13-high-rise-bldg
Create a separate shell in eQUEST for atriums. The college and school have center spaces with heights higher than the adjacent spaces. The high-rise-bldg has atriums on the corners of every 3 office floors.
With DOE21E (or DOE22) create an 8-level high space with adiabatic interior walls and an external roof. If the interior wall is standard then the adjacent spaces would be ones on the first level.

Is anyone interested in developing a website for teaching Energy Efficient Building Design? The objectives are in the Introduction

The current (temporary) website is paid for ($120 per year) until Dec 18.
