[TRNSYS-users] how to control HVAC ?

Tue Feb 7 15:33:57 PST 2017

Ahmad,

  I would recommend that you download the tutorial called "Temperature 
Level Control from Energy Rate Control " at:

http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/downloads/tutorials_and_examples/tutex17.htm

or if you are using v16

http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/downloads/tutorials_and_examples/tutex.htm

It will explain some of the differences between calculating a building 
load and simulating the performance of HVAC systems. It will also lead 
you through an example of converting a load computation simulation into 
an HVAC system simulation.

kind regards,

  David
