[TRNSYS-users] Thermal mass problem in TRnSYS Type56

[Albert Cavero Carreras]

Hello,

I am doing a comparison between a conventional building and another with the external walls made of rammed earth, which has a big thermal mass. I have simulated both of the with the Type56 in Simulation Studio and I have obtained this results. I do not know why but the decrement factor is the same for both constructions and the thermal lag is negative. I have simulated it during summer and during winter time and also I haven't considered ventilation or any time of heating or cooling. I have already seen some emails in your webpage from people asking if the thermal mass is considered in the type56.

Thank you,
