[TRNSYS-users] Type 19 floor models

[Charron, Rémi <remi.charron@nrcan.gc.ca>]

Hello,

What is the best approach in modelling a slab on grade floor in Type 19 single zone.  I want to analyze the effect of using different floors for passive solar heating (varying level of thermal mass, etc.).  TESS has models that seem suitable for Type 56 zones, but it doesn't seem that they can be used for Type 19 zones.   
I have the same question concerning underfloor heating for Type 19 zones.  Is Type 160 the best model for an underfloor heating system for Type 19?   

I need the models to be able to accurately account for the incident solar radiation on the floor, thermal storage in the mass, and heat loss to the ground.

Thanks,

Rémi
