[TRNSYS-users] How to simulate HVAC and radiant thermal heat gain and power consumption in Type56

Dear Lee

Noted that. Ive simulated it using radiative and convective load to the zone by introducing heat tx to the gain of each zones. 

If let say ive got 5 zones, should i sum up the heat tx by radiative for each zones to get the heat gain by the heating of radiator for the type56 for a particular time?

Thanks
Safwan

Hello, Safone.

You can define a gain type in Type56 which read the radiative and 
convective load delivered by the radiator through defined inputs of 
Type56.  Your heat pump model should read the zone information from 
Type56 and output the respective radiative and convective loads 
developed for connection to the input of Type56.  Of course, as David 
has mentioned, you need to add control equipment to control the 
operation of your heat pump.
