[TRNSYS-users] Load profile / Daily load

[David Bradley]

Marcos,
  The "load profile" is Type14, a forcing function that outputs a value 
as a function of time. The Type14 proforma has units associated with the 
values but in reality the forcing function could be used for 
temperatures, energy, flow rates, or (as is the case in that example) 
fractions. In the example, Type14 is outputting the fraction of the 
total daily load that is being drawn during each hour of the day. That 
fraction is then passed to the equation, where the fraction is being 
multiplied by the total.
Kind regards,
 David
