[TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS models for longwave radiation exchange withina zone

[simge andolsun]

Dear Matt Duffy,

Thanks for recommending these resources. I have read them, but I am
still not clear what is the difference between the standard (starnet)
model and the simple (combined) method. In the TRNSYS 17 manual
section Section 5.4.1.6, there is no explanation for the simple
(combined) method (pg. 5-153). Could you please explain what is meant
by simple (combined) method? What is its difference from the standard
(starnet) model?

Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Simge Andolsun
