[TRNSYS-users] Temperature and %RH setpoint TRNBUILD

[David BRADLEY]

Gary,
   The equation that I wrote was for a heating set point temperature and 
you are correct, when the building is unoccupied, the temperature would 
be allowed to fall back to 12C.

   The cooling equation might be:

Tset_cool = 28*occ + 99*(1-occ)

   In other words, define the cooling set point as an arbitrarily high 
number that the building will never reach.  There are of course other 
ways of turning off the cooling but this is effective in your situation.
Best,
  David
