Mat,

no, they aren't. For the balances a lot of values are used which aren't
available as "normal" NTYPEs. In addition, only the values of the upper
part of the "summary.bal" are integrated. The other values are simply
printed every hour (not integrated!). The standard output files were
developed for previous TRNSYS versions (15, specifically) and use "normal
NTYPES" that are
integrated over the time inside 56.
>2. There was a mistake in the types 901 - 904. Are the balance types now
>correct? Is the documentation still correct?
the balances and the documentation were corrected for the release of 16.1.
>3. I want to model an internal shading device that is black. Which

>you know papers on that subject?
the internal shading factor available in TRNBuild has reflectance and
thermal resistance but no absorptance. To model a black shading device, you
should set the reflectance toward the window and toward the zone to
something very small but non zero (0.01 should work).
Kind regards,
David
