[TRNSYS-users] Type56 Thermal Capacitance Inquiry

[Alex Cheng]

Hi Jeff,

So for reference, what is included in the thermal capacitance in Type56? Is
it anything that's a solid object or anything that's within a room? Is it
realistic to assume the furniture in a room is always the same temperature
as the air?

Thanks
