[TRNSYS-users] Effect of outdoor conditions on building load calculation

Chun Kwong,
   From the warnings, it looks to me as though there is a problem 
with the input connections between your weather data reader, 
radiation processor, and sky temperature model. If you are using a 
standard weather file format, I would recommend that you use Type15 
instead of the combination of Type89, 16, and 69 to generate the 
ambient conditions for your building. If you are using measured data 
to drive the building then you will need to use Type9, 16, and 69 (or 
possibly Type109 and 69) in which case, please send me your *.tpf, 
weather file, *.bui file and any other files I need in order to run 
the simulation so that I can find the connection problem.
Regards,
  David
