[TRNSYS-users] Orientations in different hemisphere and building Wizard

[Marion Hiller]

Dear TRNSYS Users,

 

yes, the equations of the wizard are for the northern Hemisphere. We
apologize for this.

In the upcoming update of TRNSYS17 this is fixed. Solving this issue
user friendly took somewhat longer than expected.

 

Are you simulating a building with 3D data or without?

 

Best regards,

 

Marion

Betreff: [TRNSYS-users] Orientations in different hemisphere and
building Wizard

 

Dear Trnsys users,

I Know that to input orientation one must take into account hemispheres.
0= South in northern and north in southern hemisphere.
However, when using the building Wizard, I've seen that hemisphere is
not taken into account. I've looked into the equations, and it seems to
me that the reference is 180° for north, which means that the wizard
could be a little "ethnocentred"  ? ;-)

Or maybe I didn't get it and there's something else ? 

Regards

Thibaut
