[TRNSYS-users] How many zones?

[PAUL COALES]

I am modelling a 2-floor domestic property.  The 2
floors are connected by an open hall, stairs and landing.  A thermostat is
located in the hall.



A single heating system (GSHP) will need to supply heat to both floors (under
floor heating or low temperature radiators.)



What is the easiest way of modelling this;  I'm thinking:



1) Use 2 zones;  One for upstairs and one for down stairs.

2) Each zone has an emitter.

3) Each emitter is a load on the same heating system.  Is it easy to
represent parallel heating circuits from a single heat source?  What
components should I be looking at?



Any comments welcome.

Thanks
Paul
