[TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS-users Digest, Vol 110, Issue 12

[Tung Nguyen Huy]

Dear All, especially Marion and David,

First of all, thank you so much for your kindness. I deeply appreciate your
help.
Ultimately, I could figure out those errors by following your instructions.
However, I found that I only need to capitalize all the names of zones in
Google Schetchup pro while I create new zones.

Now, I have another confusion about TRNSYS. I need to compute the COOLING
LOAD for an apartment. How can I simulate it? Which types should I use to
simulate? Because I saw many types in the TRNSYS Simulation Studio.

Thank you so much.

Yours sincerely,
Nguyen, Huy Tung
