[TRNSYS-users] PID controller and time schedule

[David BRADLEY]

Fanfan,
   I am not aware of a way in TRNSYS to actually model the CO2 
concentration in the space. Typically, I have assumed that CO2 
concentration varies according to the occupancy of the space and I vary 
the mechanical ventilation rate according to the fraction of occupancy. 
This is, of course, a significant simplification. There are some 
components in the TESS Applications Library that allow you to set 
weekday, saturday, and sunday schedules using a slider-plugin. You can 
also define a few Type14s (one for weekdays, one for weekends, etc.) and 
then combine them using either an equation or the forcing function 
sequencer (Type41). If you have a very complex schedule, you can enter 
it into Excel as hourly values then use a Type9 data reader to read the 
excel file.
Kind regards,
  David
