<div dir="ltr">Tim, <br><br>I have the impression that Type 56 in TRNSYS is not a geometrical, but rather a analytical, representation of buildings, by which I mean that Type 56 does not seem to understand what is the relationship between different building elements, such as east wall, west wall, window, roof, shading, etc. Am I right or wrong?<br>
<br>How do you input building definition in TRNSYS?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Chaoqin<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 4:43 PM, Timothy McDowell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mcdowell@tess-inc.com">mcdowell@tess-inc.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
