It sounds to me as though you are on the correct track. A very
similar technique is used by the multi-zone slab-on-grade model that
will be released with Trnsys17, by the various ground coupling
components in the TESS Libraries (including a multi-zone basement). The
same technique is also used in a phase change material (PCM) wall
component that was developed at the Institute of Thermal Engineering at
the University of Technology Graz. You can find a link about the PCM
component at:<br>
