Hello to everyone,
it seems like a trivial problem but I didnt manage to solve it by myself …
Basically, I would like to simulate a building in EnergyPlus where one facade has different wall constructions (e.g., an additional curtain wall, green facade, etc.). To achieve this, I created another rectangle on one side of the box, generated a series, and moved it upward. Later, I want to assign these surfaces a different construction (via Honeybee Face) than the rest of the surface.
My problem: Honeybee always reports an error “no closed volume” because the additional surfaces overlap with the surface behind them (it works, when I dont have them).
That is why I tried to subtract the sub-areas from the side surface of the box, but I havent managed to do that yet. How can I do it?
Later on, I also want to simulate different building heights (different numbers of floors). The sub-areas will automatically become more or fewer with the building height (one per floor). However, the side surface of the box always remains the same (No. 2 in the script). I dont know how to solve this.
I have copied the relevant parts of the script into a separate file and attached it.

I would greatly appreciate any help!
Best, M.
