As I said in my email to you a few days ago, you can define
multiple groups of zones in Type56 that have nothing to do with each
other thermally. So while it is true that you can only have one
instance of Type56 in your simulation, that Type56 can be used to
simulate how ever many separate buildings (or parts of buildings)
that you want. <br>
<br>
As far as defining more than one soil temperature, you simply need
to define new ground temperature inputs for the BOUNDARY temperature
in each section of the building. Defining non-standard inputs to
Type56 is an important, basic operation when working with this
model. It would be wise, I think, to study a few of the examples
that use Type56 and to look carefully through the
05-MultizoneBuilding manual (particularly the first part that
focuses on the use of TRNBuild). You may also benefit from going
through the "temperature level control from energy rate control"
tutorial that is available from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/downloads/tutorials_and_examples/tutex17.htm">http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/downloads/tutorials_and_examples/tutex17.htm</a>.
While the tutorial does not directly deal with setting boundary
temperatures, it does show how to manage Type56's inputs and
outputs; something you will need to do as well.<br>
