[TRNSYS-users] Type 2b problem

[David BRADLEY]

Karel,
  If you are looking for a simple building thermostat that will take 
both a heating and a cooling set point try using Type108 instead of 
Type2. Type2 is a differential controller meaning that its control 
decisions are based on the difference between two temperatures (like the 
temperature of a water tank and the outlet temperature of a collector) 
instead of the comparison of a monitored temperature to a setpoint. You 
can of course use Type2 as a thermostat but I think Type108 will make 
more sense.
Kind regards,
  David
