Re: [TRNSYS-users] Type88

Dear Adrien,

I would recommend that you download the latest release, which is 
16.01.0002.  We updated the contents of the descriptions in the 
proforma.  Please contact your distributor to download the latest version.

This lumped capacitance model solves two differential equations: energy 
balance and moisture balance.  The rate of humidity is the rate at which 
moisture is added to the space, in terms of mass of water per hour.  I 
do not know if this solves your question.
Best regards,

Diego
