<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484293014-10092004>Hi to
all,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484293014-10092004>I am seeking a type
(or a "trick" for..) for simulating a ventilated facade. I actually already
asked it to Michael during Trnsys Days in Liege but I would just to know if
anybody has had previous experience with it. A ventilated facade is very simlar
to a trombe wall ( in trnsys types it is the Thermal Storag Wall) but it
has ceramic, or similar, outer panels instead of glazings and between them there
may have a small gaps.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484293014-10092004>I figured out the
following:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=484293014-10092004></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484293014-10092004>1) I may design the
ventilated facade myself creating this double skin and considering the air gap
as a room and eventually using Trnflow to simulate the flow air along it.
Important detail: I dont have Trnflow...but if it worked...</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484293014-10092004>2) I may use the
type Thermal Storage Wall setting 0 transmittance for the glazings and use
its uotput as input to the Type 56. I made the deck file for it but my
questions are:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484293014-10092004>- what il the max
height allowed?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484293014-10092004>- how changing
material properties of the glazings (to simulate ceramics) apart from
transmittance?...</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484293014-10092004>- Does this
type calculate the air flow with a similar/same algorithm as Trnflow would
use?(see 1) )</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484293014-10092004>3) does any type
exist for calculating/analizing luminace and lights as Radiance (or similar
software) may do?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484293014-10092004>Any suggestion is
well accepted!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

advance...</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
