[TRNSYS-users] WSHP with radiant floor for building

[David BRADLEY]

Jacopo,

   If you are modeling the building in Type56 I would define an active 
layer and radiant floor in each of the apartments. I think that using 
Type653 might not be the best idea because presumably the apartments are 
all individually controlled (and may even have different setpoints at 
different times). Modeling each in Type56 would allow for such control 
and for a better estimate of the pumping power required to feed 28 
separate systems rather than one large one.

kind regards

  David
