[TRNSYS-users] Simulation of false ceiling: influence on inertia

[David BRADLEY]

Joke,
  I like to simulate this situation as two thermal zones; the 
conditioned zone below and the plenum zone above. Because the suspended 
ceiling basically has no mass to it, I simulate it as a wall made up of 
a single purely resistive (ie massless) layer.
best,
  David
