<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Just to re-itterate one of my favourite subjects...</div><div>The ground temperature objects are good to use with anytype of ground heat exchanger (for example the two mentioned by David, namely earth tubes and Geothermal). It should, however not be used as the boundry condition on the ground bounding contructions of conditioned spaces. This is inaccurate and a mistake I am seeing often by Trnsys users. If using a constant value, I suggest the mean (day + night) monthly conditioned space temperature minus 2 Kelvin, for bounding constructions in the range of 150 to 300 mm without insulation.</div><div><br></div><div>If you want to accurately model this, I suggest using the slab/basement types that do the 3d calculation for this. If you are a begginer, don't focus your efforts here as the added accuracy to yearly energy consuption is not that big. If you do use the complex modelling types also bear in mind the effects of ground water level on apparent soil temps.</div><div><br></div><div>If anyone is really interested, I can post the links to some papers about this topic when I'm back at my desk tomorrow.</div><div><br></div><div>---</div><div><br></div><div><br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On 04.07.2012, at 14:00, Herve Gaël <<a href="mailto:G.Herve@ciat.fr">G.Herve@ciat.fr</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks for your answer. I just need the ground temperature to modelise my basement. In my bui. I use an input Tsoil for "boundary userdefined" that's all. I will use your values if I don't find any.<o:p></o:p></p>

There is no difference between Type77 and Type501. The component started out in the TESS Libraries as Type501 but was donated to the standard library and given a new number. It is still in the TESS Libraries for backward compatibility. The thing to remember
about that model is that it is an undisturbed ground temperature model meaning that no matter how much energy you remove from the ground or add to the ground, the ground temperature will only ever be a function of the time of year. If you are using this in
a geothermal application where you are rejecting energy to the ground and removing energy from the ground, the ground temperature will be impacted and you should look at using Type557. If you are drawing air through tubes in the ground then you should look
at using Type460 (Pierre Holmuller's earth duct model as implemented by Transsolar)<br>
<br>
If you aren't able to find data for Type501 then the following will get you started: For the mean soil temperature, use the average annual air temperature for your location. For the amplitude, plot out the monthly average temperature for your location and
calculate the biggest difference between the average annual temperature and the monthly average temperatures. For the time shift, use 30.<br>

and cold water batteries as well), depending on the set temperature. I do understand the system but I don't really know how to modelise it. Is ther any existing type I can use? Should I detail each system like my fans, my batteries...which seems to be complicated.<o:p></o:p></p>
