[TRNSYS-users] Mean radiant temperature of building zones

[Cramer Silkworth]

Two ways I can think of:

1. The operative temp is calculated using MRT and dry bulb temp weighted 
50/50 by default, so you can just back-out the MRT from operative temp 
and dry bulb temps.

2. Output ntype 17 (TSI) of type 56 is the inside surface temp, you 
could output this for all your surfaces and calc the average that way, 
but this is more tedious.

Hello, Trnsys users.

Does anyone know how to output the mean radiant temperature of the 
building zones in Type56?  Thank you!
