[TRNSYS-users] Domestic Hot Water Demand

[David BRADLEY]

Pouyan,

   It is possible; the definition is not done at the building level in 
Type56 but by implementing a water draw component as well as the rest of 
the components that make up the water heating system (tanks, pumps, 
pipes, draws, solar collectors, boilers, etc.). There are any number of 
ways that the water draw can be defined. If you have access to the TESS 
Utility library you will find a pair of water draw profile components 
called Type1243 and Type1251. If you have access to the TESS 
Applications library there are some forcing function components in there 
that are a possibility. Alternatively you could set up a Typw14 forcing 
function or read known water draws from an external data file using Type9.

kind regards,

  David
