[TRNSYS-users] Building simulation - Zones temperature dynamics

[David BRADLEY]

Mariam,

  The wall transfer function coefficients are computed with a certain 
time base. When you run a simulation in which your time step is a lot 
smaller than the wall time base you start to see the times at which the 
wall transfer function coefficients are updated, which produces this 
step-like plot. Depending on the construction of the walls in your 
building, you can probably reduce the wall timebase and get rid of the 
steps. The time base is set in TRNBuild's output manager. I'd suggest 
using a 0.25h time base.

kind regards,

  David
