Re: [TRNSYS-users] Building consumption

["Diego A. Arias" <daarias@wisc.edu>]

Dear Samir,

I would like to add a couple of ideas.  Once that you defined the start
and stop of the seasons you can do this:
- If you want to print the hourly loads, you can use a printer with the
start and stop values according to the season duration that you specified.
- If you want the total load during the season, you may want to use an
integrator. You can create a window function that is 1 during the
duration of the season, and 0 the rest of the year. Using equations, it
would look like:

StartSeason = 1000
EndSeason = 2000
windowFunction = gt(time,StartSeason)*lt(time,EndSeason)

You can multiply the load from the building by this windowFunction, and
it will be zero outside of the season.

Best regards,

Diego
