Re: [TRNSYS-users] building losses

"How can I obtain Building losses (and not building heating consumption)?"

If you're building is being kept at or near its setpoint at all times over
the course of the year then the heating energy supplied by the equipment
will equal the losses from the building.  If you have secondary losses
(ducting, pipe losses, tank losses etc) then simply subtract these from
the heating load provided by the equipment.

Your other choice is to look at the energy balance outputs from Type 56
and figure out where the energy is going.
