[TRNSYS-users] Control of on active layer

[Cramer Silkworth]

Arnaud,

All you need is an equation:

Tinflow = gt(Tzone,20) * Toutside_amb + not(gt(Tzone,20)) * 35

the GT and LT functions return either 0 or 1, so this contruction gives 
you, in effect, an in-else statement.

Good afternoon,

I would like to pre-heat the inflow of the ventilation during the 
heating period to see the impact that this would have on the heating 
bill.

To do so I would like find a controller to model:
if Tzone>20°C then Tinflow=Toutside_amb
if Tzozne<20°C then Tinflow=35°C

Do you know wich controller should I use?

Thank you very much!
