If---2-AUDITORIUM 3-4~--DRESS-ROOMFig. III. 23.Multiple INTERIOR-WALLS all truly NEXT-TO asingle SPACE.DRESS-ROOMs 1 and 5 are truly both unique. DRESS-ROOMs 2,3, and 4 are identical enough to permit the use ofMULTIPLIER. Therefore, the user specifiesAUDITORIUM = SPACEDRESS-ROOM2 = SPACEAUDWALL = INTERIOR-WALLNEXT-TO = AUDITORIUMMULTIPLIER = 3 H2 thru 4)$In this latter example, the DRESS-ROOMs are truly operatingthermally in parallel with AUDITORIUM. Note that if allfour vertical walls of DRESS-ROOM2 had been specified, theINTERIOR-WALL common to DRESS-ROOM 2 and 3 would beduplicated. The same is true for the INTERIOR-WALL commonto 3 and 4. This is important only if these common wallsare massive.The point of this discussion is that the user shouldunderstand and use care when specifying MULTIPLIER in aSPACE instruction where INTERIOR-WALLs are involved.When using Custom Weighting Factors for INTERIOR-WALLs,MULTIPLIER should not be used in any spaces that haveINTERIOR-WALLs in common, especially massive walls. If thisis done, the Custom Weighting Factors will not be correctand no diagnostic message will be printed. If the user isnot using Custom Weighting Factors, this is no problem.II I. 96 (Revised 5/81)
