Dear TRNSYS users,<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I have some questions about building philosophy in TRNSYS, and maybe the answers help me understand how TRNBUILD works. I have attached a scetch to make it easier giving me some answers. </div>
<div><br></div><div>There are two thermal zones I want to study, first of all:</div><div><ul><li> Do I have to enter "storage room" and "closet" in the bui file as zones ?</li><li>Z1's floor is type "boundary", Z2's floor some portion is "ADJACENT" to Z1, the remaining is "EXTERNAL" ?</li>
<li>Z2's top is "HORIZONTAL", the remaining of Z1 which is not "ADJACENT" is "EXTERNAL" or "HORIZONTAL" </li></ul><div><br></div></div><div>Also I'd like to know if a use a massless layer which has equivalent U-value with a massive will I get the same results? There are some standards about U and just want to get results without trying to make layers that satisfy Umax.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I tried to understand the "Advanced TRNBuild example" but can't find the bui file to study it. If anyone would like to share a more advanced construction just to take lesson from, please attach the bui file with a blueprint.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you all for your time,</div><div><br></div><div>Elias </div>
