<DIV dir=ltr>Hi ALL,</DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV class=Section1>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I would like to use TRNSYS to calculate the cooling load of my building model (altogether 8 zones), instead of traditional methods. I have carried out the following steps and would like to know if I am correct:</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoListParagraph style="TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><SPAN>1)<SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </SPAN></SPAN>I used the cooling available in TRNBuild and set the Room Temperature Control to 25 deg C (unlimited power).</P>
<P class=MsoListParagraph style="TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><SPAN>2)<SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </SPAN></SPAN>I retrieved the data (QCOOL) and determine the max QCool required for each zone (by sorting the data using excel).</P>
<P class=MsoListParagraph style="TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><SPAN>3)<SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> </SPAN></SPAN>I subsequently summed all the maximum QCool from the 8 zones.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The final value (ie from step 3) will be used to determine the cooling capacity of my equipment (which is a chilled water cooling system).</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Are my steps correct? Or can anyone provide me a better approach?</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Any help is deeply appreciated!</P>
