[TRNSYS-users] Climate data

[Esteban Zalamea via TRNSYS-users]

Hello every one

I am new user of TRNSYS. I am looking forward to simulate in Type 56 3D, but I just found that it is necessary to have TM2 climate data file? But for Cuenca, Ecuador I just found only .EPW file. It is possible to simulate in type 56 with EPW ? or it is possible to export EPW file to TM2? or using the adequate climate Type 15-4 ? Thank you in advance for your help



Kind regards

The storage in the ground around the basement can play an important role.  There are several good ground modeling components out there but I would recommend Type1267 from TESS after looking at your schematic.  The model will likely slow down the simulation but will provide MUCH more realistic results.  And with the included soil temperature viewer you'll be able to visualize the heat transfer into the soil.  We use it on all of our basement projects.  There are several tricks we can share to help with the simulation speed issue too.

In fact, I have set three Nodes in type 77 (one node for each basement) and the walls's boundary conditions of the basements are = 1*TBOUNDARY.
