[TRNSYS-users] Total heating demand (??)

Dear Wang,

Regarding your first question: I suspect the thermal capacity of the 
floor to cause the difference between case 2 and 3. Simulate a larger 
time period and this effect should get smaller.

About your second question, floor or wall heating systems are more 
efficient than radiator based heating systems because they demand lower 
inlet (or forward) temperatures. By this boiler (and potential storage) 
efficiency increases. Since you do not simulate any heat generation, 
these effects do not occur in your simulation.
I expect the Qheat of case 1 to be the real heat demand and QALFL_Inlet 
of case 2 to be the heat delivered to the room by the active layer.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Jochen
