[TRNSYS-users] Unheated Space

Samar,
  I am a bit unclear on what you are trying to do. Typically an unheated 
space would not have any set point associated with it; the temperature 
would simply float and there would be no heating load on that space. If 
you are modeling such a space but there is a heated space next to it, 
you can treat the wall in between as a BOUNDARY wall in TRNBuild and 
specify the surface temperature of the back side (the side that is in 
the conditioned space, not the side that is in the unheated space). Note 
that what you are asked to specify is the surface temperature, not the 
temperature of the air in the adjacent space but as a first guess, you 
could probably assume that the surface is at the set point temperature.
Best,
  David
