[TRNSYS-users] how to set three input temperatures in a single building type

[David BRADLEY]

Qi,
   As I said in my email to you a few days ago, you can define multiple 
groups of zones in Type56 that have nothing to do with each other 
thermally. So while it is true that you can only have one instance of 
Type56 in your simulation, that Type56 can be used to simulate how ever 
many separate buildings (or parts of buildings) that you want.

   As far as defining more than one soil temperature, you simply need to 
define new ground temperature inputs for the BOUNDARY temperature in 
each section of the building. Defining non-standard inputs to Type56 is 
an important, basic operation when working with this model. It would be 
wise, I think, to study a few of the examples that use Type56 and to 
look carefully through the 05-MultizoneBuilding manual (particularly the 
first part that focuses on the use of TRNBuild). You may also benefit 
from going through the "temperature level control from energy rate 
control" tutorial that is available from 
http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/downloads/tutorials_and_examples/tutex17.htm. 
While the tutorial does not directly deal with setting boundary 
temperatures, it does show how to manage Type56's inputs and outputs; 
something you will need to do as well.
Regards,
  David
