[TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS 16 - Building walls and orientation.

[Elias Sasati]

Dear TRNSYS users,


I have some questions about  building philosophy in TRNSYS, and maybe the
answers help me understand how TRNBUILD works. I have attached a scetch to
make it easier giving me some answers.

There are two thermal zones I want to study, first of all:

   -  Do I have to enter "storage room" and "closet" in the bui file as
   zones ?
   - Z1's floor is type "boundary", Z2's floor some portion is "ADJACENT" to
   Z1, the remaining is "EXTERNAL" ?
   - Z2's top is "HORIZONTAL", the remaining of Z1 which is not "ADJACENT"
   is "EXTERNAL" or "HORIZONTAL"


Also I'd like to know if a use a massless layer which has equivalent U-value
with a massive will I get the same results? There are some standards about U
and just want to get results without trying to make layers that satisfy
Umax.

I tried to understand the "Advanced TRNBuild example" but can't find the bui
file to study it.  If anyone would like to share a more advanced
construction just to take lesson from, please attach the bui file with a
blueprint.


Thank you all for your time,

Elias
