[TRNSYS-users] Active layer for internal zones

[Adrien JEZEQUEL - ITF]

Dear Heloise,

To define your active layer applied in an internal wall, you have to 
change wall category from INTERNAL to ADJACENT of the same thermal zone.

For example:
You have an INTFLOOR defined as INTERNAL in "ZoneA" without active Layer 
: ZoneA - INTFLOOR Internal
You put an active layer to INTFLOOR.
Then you change your INTFLOOR from INTERNAL to ADJACENT to zone "ZoneA".
With an active layer, it's possible to define an adjacent wall into the 
same thermal zone (that the same with chilled ceiling layer) : ZoneA - 
INTFLOOR (with active Layer) Adjacent to "ZoneA"

Best regards
