Ilyas,

   In addition to making sure that there is enough thermal capacitance 
in your system, you need to look carefully at the timestep you choose. 
TRNSYS can make only one control decision per timestep. If you are 
running a system with a 1 hour timestep that means that if the decision 
is to turn on a heater then the heater will stay on for at least 1 hour, 
very likely overheating the space.

   I would recommend that you follow through the tutorial called 
"Temperature Level Control from Energy Rate Control" that can be found 
at 
http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/downloads/tutorials_and_examples/tutex17.htm. 
It addresses some of the issues that you are likely to find.

   Also, if you have access to the TESS HVAC library, you will find a 
lot of models of the devices that you need for heating and cooling 
building zones.

kind regards,

  David
