[TRNSYS-users] Electric lamps

[David BRADLEY]

Abdulhameed,
The most flexible way of including lighting in Type56 is to define a new 
GAIN in your zone. The gain can be set as a constant value, a scheduled 
value, or as an input. If you set it as an input then you can pass 
whatever value you like into the building. The heat gain from the 
lighting might come from an equation. The complexity will come from the 
controls. The controls may be other equations or another component. The 
TESS Green Building library contains a number of lighting control Types 
that might be of some interest.
Regards,
David
