Re: [TRNSYS-users] Type703 slab on grade



Fabien,
  If you have horizontal insulation directly underneath the entire slab then you would define that insulation in TRNBuild as a layer in the BOUNDARY wall that defines the slab. If you have insulation that extends vertically downward around the perimeter of the slab (like a skirt) then you define its R-value and the depth to which it extends using parameters 17 and 18 of Type703. If you have horizontal insulation that extends outward from the perimeter of the slab or if you have horizontal insulation that extends inward from the perimeter but does not extend all the way to the middle of the slab then the effects of that kind of insulation is not calculated by Type703. If I am misunderstanding the type of insulation that you are considering, my apologies. Please feel free to send me a sketch of what you are trying to analyze and I will try to answer more clearly.
Cheers,
 David

Dear TRNSYS users,
 
I am using the Type703 (slab on grade) and would like to know if this component is able to take in consideration horizontal perimeter insulation.
