[TRNSYS-users] heating control in type 56

[David Bradley]

Dear Jörn,
   You are correct in your understanding that the Type56 internal heating 
and cooling mechanisms are ideal and that there should be no demand when 
the zone temperature is between the heating and cooling set point, 
regardless of the time step. If you are seeing such behavior, you should 
address the problem to your distributor.
Kind regards,
   David
