<div>Dear all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> I saw one introduction about TRNSYS, there is a sentence: <br>•<br>Thermal building model includes heat transfer by conductions, convection and radiation, heat gains from occupants and equipment, and the storage of heat in the room air and building mass<br>
</div>
<p><br> What"s meaning of the storage of heat in the room air and building mass?<br> <br> <br>Does it mean the room and building mass can store the heat? If so, how to embody its storage of heat? Please take some examples! <br>
<br> Many thanks! <br> <br> Br.<br> <br>wang <br><br></p>

I am a little bit confused. My understanding is that Trnsys performs the
calculation in the equation proforma based on the input and the sequence of the
equations as typed in the proforma, and the system performance at each time step
is determined component by component which follow the order as indicated in the
input file. Hence, should there be any improper formulation, the consequence
should generally be non-convergence. Is my interpretation wrong, and how can I
solve the problem? Please advise. Thank you!

<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">Catherine,<br> You are quite correct that integrating solar collectors with the building skin will change the loads on the building. I would guess that in simulating such a situation, most people ignore the interaction and assume that the presence of the collectors changes the loads only slightly in comparison to the magnitude of the loads themselves. <br>
<br> There are a few models of building-integrated photovoltaic panels in the TESS Green Building Library (now called the TESS Electrical Library) but they all assume an air gap behind the absorber surface and in front of the building skin.<br>

As well as collectors completely covered the flat roof , except the location for lacing the water tank .<br>
On the one hand , since the collector block the radiation for the roof , which alters the energy balance of building , as well as causes changes in building loads.
