[TRNSYS-users] Converting kJ/hr to kWh type46

When you integrate kJ/h in Type 46 you get units of kJ. To convert
kJ to kWh you divide the number by 3600: 

kJ * 1 h/3600 s = kJ/s *
Hours = kW * Hours = kWh 

This is most easily done in Excel after the
simulation is complete but you could do it before the integrator and use
an equation.
