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

[C K Lee]

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.
