did you take the higher air change rates in the WCs into account? Your supply air temperature is affected by the ambient temperature, so higher ach rates would lead to higher heating loads. </div>

<p>Asma,</p>
<p> Take a look at the ground floor boundary condition. Depending on whether you used the building wizard or not, the temperature of the ground underneath the slab can default to 0C, which often causes unrealistically high heating loads and unrealistically
low cooling loads.</p>
<p>kind regards,</p>
<p> David</p>

thank you for the quick reply. Yes you're right, I'm converting the Qsens only from kJ/hr to W. I then enter the values in Excel and divide my total heating load from a zone by the zone-area. I have a problem especially with the zone 15 and zone 16. These
are interior rooms. An elevator and installation shaft (no heating on) is adjacent to these rooms. The elevator and installation shaft do not fall below a temperature of 15 degrees, so it's impossible that the zone 15 and zone 16 needs that much of heating
power I get in the simulation. I even calculated the heat load manually. I don't know why, but I only get for interior zones a heat load that is way to high. There's somewhere a problem, maybe it's an easy problem, but I do not find it. I checked every link
and the .b18-file but I do not find it. I also have to say, it's my first time working with TRNSYS. Perhaps the problem is in some setting I did wrong.. I hope really you could help me. Thank you in advance for your time, effort and help.</div>

I had a quick look at your .tpf-File and it seems that you are using the Qsens output from the building, converting these in the Equations "Q_sens" and then plotting them, right? The building outputs come in <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255); display:inline!important">kJ/hr,
so in the equation you're only converting them to W, not W/m². I didn't check the project in detail though, so i don't know if that accounts for all of the difference.</span></div>

this is Asma from the University of Stuttgart. Right now I'm working at my diploma thesis using TRNSYS and a problem occured we were not able to solve yet. I hope that you might have a solution or an idea how to fix it. In TRNBuild I'm using the Heating Type
Manager with unlimited power to heat a room to a certain temperature (20°C). I'm only using convective heat. But something is not working properly with the simulation. I get a heating load that is far too high for certain rooms. Specifically, it is about
interior rooms with a too high heating load. I've already checked all links or sources of error, but haven't found anything that causes an error. My maximum specific heating load should actually be around 40 W / m² (144 kJ / h per m²), but I get around 100
W/m² (360 kJ/h per m²), although the outside temperature does not fall into the minus range. It would be great if you had an idea
<div>how to fix that or if you could identify the problem. Thank you very much in <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt">advance!! </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt">I
