[TRNSYS-users] type 703 parameters

[eleni ampatzi]

Dear David and Abdullahi,

Thank you very much for the replies. Just one more question. What about
parameter No 22 'Slab U-value'? Do I need to calculate this in type 56 for
the specific floor element (and which N-type is this, I am using TRNSYS 16_1
and I cannot find this out) and pass it on type 703? The manual says that
this is not required, but it is confusing for me, since it is one of the
parameters of the type. Thank you in advance,

Best Regards

Eleni
