<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Has anyone out there used the TROMBE-WALL-NV command in
DOE2.2 to effectively model a Trombe wall? eQuest does not seem to offer
this command, so I am using text mode and following the guidance of the DOE 2.2
Dictionary (June 2006, pp 130-131). In my model, the only change when
using this command (with appropriate WALL-PARAMETERS for the construction: 0.1
emiss, 0.9 absorp, 1.5” channel width) appears to be that heat load is
increased when replacing the exterior wall with a trombe-wall-nv, as the wall
area is set equal to the trombe glass (window) area. No benefits appear
to result from additional thermal storage effect, as expected. Was this
feature fully developed? Would I be better off modeling a very narrow sunspace
to represent the trombe wall channel? I’d welcome anyone’s input
(particularly the DOE2 authors).<o:p></o:p></span></font>
