Dear all,

1. How to calculate or find the thermal time constant of zone in TRNSYS
software?

---------- WALL TYPE BST_FL_HEAT_W1      ----------

       THERMAL CONDUCTANCE, U=    67.80000 kJ/h m2K; U-Wert=     4.48235
W/m2K
              (incl. alpha_i=7.7 W/m^2 K and alpha_o=25 W/m^2 K)

                        TRANSFERFUNCTION COEFFICIENTS
   K            A              B              C              D

   0       1.7050117E+02    2.1087019E+01    1.7050117E+02    1.0000000E+00
   1      -1.1800059E+02    3.5808933E+01   -1.1800059E+02   -1.3683139E-01
   2       6.0267372E+00    1.6298573E+00    6.0267372E+00    4.7362566E-05
   3      -1.2736107E-03    2.3363784E-04   -1.2736107E-03
  SUM      5.8526043E+01    5.8526043E+01    5.8526043E+01    8.6321597E-01
What's meaning of A B C D? Are they Wall's TRANSFERFUNCTION COEFFICIENTS?
And what is the thermal time constant of the whole zone? How to calculate or
find the thermal time constant of the whole zone in TRNSYS software?
Need I   calculate by myself the whole zone's TRANSFERFUNCTION based on all
the walls of the zone or others?

2.  How to calculate or find air volume flow of the window opening in
TRNFlow software?
The window opening area (m2)is known. Whether it needs the wind speed(m/s)
or not?

Many thanks!

Br.
