[TRNSYS-users] Type703 slab on grade

[David Bradley]

Fabien,
   If you have horizontal insulation directly underneath the entire slab 
then you would define that insulation in TRNBuild as a layer in the 
BOUNDARY wall that defines the slab. If you have insulation that extends 
vertically downward around the perimeter of the slab (like a skirt) then 
you define its R-value and the depth to which it extends using parameters 
17 and 18 of Type703. If you have horizontal insulation that extends 
outward from the perimeter of the slab or if you have horizontal insulation 
that extends inward from the perimeter but does not extend all the way to 
the middle of the slab then the effects of that kind of insulation is not 
calculated by Type703. If I am misunderstanding the type of insulation that 
you are considering, my apologies. Please feel free to send me a sketch of 
what you are trying to analyze and I will try to answer more clearly.
Cheers,
  David
