[TRNSYS-users] problem of escalade

Aleck,
   The steps that you are seeing in some of the temperature plots are 
probably a result of timebase that you have chosen for the walls in your 
building. Wall response factors are computed for a series of discrete 
times extending backwards through the history of the wall. If you use a 
simulation time step that is less than the wall timebase then the 
conduction transfer function has a constant value for a few timesteps 
until the end of the next timebase is reached, then they change and you 
end up seeing that stepped response. The ideal solution is to use a wall 
timebase that is as close as possible to your simulation timestep. That 
is not always feasible though; so I typically use a 0.25hr timebase and 
a 1 or 5 minute time step.
best,
  david
