[TRNSYS-users] several building blocks and type 56

[David Bradley]

Raf,
   While it is true that simulations are limited to one instance of Type56 
in both TRNSYS 15 and in TRNSYS 16, you can actually simulate more than 1 
building simply by setting up zones that have no adjacencies between them. 
If, however, setting up multiple buildings using Type56 is beyond the scope 
of work that you want to do, you can use simpler building models such as 
the lumped capacitance single zone (Type88) or multi zone (Type660 in the 
TESS Loads and Structures Library) building models.
Cheers,
  David
