[TRNSYS-users] type 686 heat gain

Karol,
   Type686 is an attempt at making a building model without actually 
making a building. It generates a profile that has many of the same 
characteristics of a building's overall heating and cooling loads. It 
has a number of "randomization" parameters that allow you to change the 
characteristics of the profile (to change its "signal to noise ratio" if 
I may borrow a term from the electrical engineers out there...) I don't 
see why you couldn't use its profiles as though they were energy gains 
into a more traditional building model. I would recommend that you play 
around with the Type and make sure that the profile that it is 
generating makes good sense to you and also make sure that it is not 
generating any unrealistically high energy gain values over the course 
of the simulation year.
Kind regards,
  David
