[TRNSYS-users] About building loads calculation in TRNSYS

[Catherine]

        I want to calculate the building loads when the flat-plate collector
stick to the flat roof , but , how to achieve it using TRNSYS ? Well , I
tend to utilize the Type 56 for building model .By the way , my building is
an ordinary six-storey residential building .And there is no air gap between
the collectors and the roof-covering . As well as collectors completely
covered the flat roof , except the location for lacing the water tank .
       On the one hand , since the collector block the radiation for the
roof , which alters the energy balance of building , as well as causes
changes in building loads. On the other hand , for the original building ,
after the collector added to the roof, the thermal resistance increases ,
with the building heat through the roof decreasing .
        Wish some suggestions .
