<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Trnsys users (or most probably
developpers)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Using weather data reader 109 for Tmy2 file, I am
getting confused in the way to connect it to the Mask Type 67 and the Building
Type 56.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For a given orientation in Type 56, I
need:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- The total radiation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- The beam radiation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(and other data which are not of
concern)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If this orientation is shaded, I have to get these
data from the type 67</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I find, in the output list of type 67:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- The shaded total radiation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- The shaded beam radiation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Connecting the type 109 to type 67, I
find:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Outputs from 109:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- total radiation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- beam radiation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- sky diffuse radiation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- ground reflected diffuse radiation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Inputs to 67</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- beam radiation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- diffuse radiation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Should I:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First solution: add the sky and diffuse radiation
from 109 and connect it to the diffuse radiation input of type 67, then connect
the shaded total radiation from 67 to the total radiation input of type 56
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Second solution: connect the sky diffuse radiation
from 109 to the diffuse radiation input of 67 and add the ground diffuse
radiation from 109 and the shaded total radiation from 67 and connect the result
to the total radiation input of type 56 ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Simply speaking: the beam radiation is not a
problem. What is unclear is if type 67 is dealing with the sky+ground diffuse
radiation or only with the sky diffuse radiation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for your help</FONT></DIV>
