    Dr Rami,<br>
     I am not aware of any examples of coupling Type36 and Type56.
    However, looking at the mathematical reference manual entry for
    Type36, I think the best approximation that you are going to be able
    to do is as follows:<br>
    <br>
     Type36 makes the simplifying assumption that the inside surface
    temperature of the wall is the same as the innermost node
    temperature. It allows you to calculate the  convection between that
    node and the room temperature by asking you to specify the inside
    heat transfer coefficient as an input. In TRNBuild, add a low
    resistance "massless" BOUNDARY wall on the south side of your
    building and select "userdefined: input" as the back side surface
    temperature. Set the outside convection coefficient of that wall to
    be 0.0001 (indicating direct contact). Also output the "inside
    surface temperature" for that wall from Type56. In Type36, enter the
    resistance of the wall for the "inside convection coefficient"
    Type56's inside wall surface temperature becomes the room
    temperature that you pass to Type36 and Type36 innermost node
    temperature becomes the "outside surface temperature" that you pass
    back to Type56.<br>
    <br>
      I am not promising that this will work but I think it is worth a
    try.<br>
    Best,<br>
     David<br>
