[TRNSYS-users] Solar Cap (Type34)

Manuel,

   As a side note, I would recommend connecting the ambient drybulb 
temperature to TSGRD. Otherwise the ground surface temperature will be 
taken to be 0C throughout that year. It would also be a good idea to set 
your ground reflectance to either an output from Type15 or to a constant 
value of 0.2.

   In order to connect Type34 to Type56 you have to define a new 
ORIENTATION in TRNBuild for the shaded window. Once you do then another 
set of inputs for beam solar radiation, total solar radiation and 
incidence angle will appear in the Type56 input list and you can connect 
the Type34 to those inputs.

kind regards,

  David
