[TRNSYS-users] Sketchup Trnsys 3D

[David BRADLEY]

Imane,

   How you handle stairs will depend a bit on the building. In larger 
buildings that have a stairwell then I would model the stairwell as one 
(or perhaps a few) zones stacked vertically. I would not bother to draw 
the doors that lead between the stair well and the rest of the building; 
I would let Type56 treat them as wall area.

   If you are dealing with a residential building and the stairs are 
open then energy will transfer more by natural convection than by 
conduction. TRNSYS by itself does not model the up and downflowing air 
through a stairway so you'd need to implement either a TRNFlow or a 
CONTAM model in order to assess the quantity of air transfer.

   When I have had to deal with open stairs, I have modeled the opening 
between floors as a massless surface with a very low thermal resistance 
and have defined a coupling air flow rate. The air flow rate is then 
calculated by CONTAM (Type97) and is passed to Type56, which in turn 
passes the upstairs and downstairs temperatures back to Type97.

kind regards,

  David
