Re: [TRNSYS-users] Solar Load



David,

 

I have run my model using both the NTYPE 901 and NTYPE903. Since I have only one window and zone shouldn’t the gains to the zone be the same? NTYPE903 is producing a higher gain to zone. Please can you tell me the difference between the two outputs?

 

Thanks

Patrick,
  Try NTYPE901 - its a solar balance on a given zone. An output file will be generated by Type56 with all the terms of the solar balance as described on page 6-26 of the 06-MultizoneBuilding manual. One thing to be careful about is that each entry in the output file is the value of a given energy transfer over the previous timestep. However, the values are only generated once per hour. If you are able to run in energy rate control and use a 1 hour time step, there is no problem but if you are running with a shorter time step, you'll only be able to see the value of the energy transfer over the last time step in the hour. Its a known problem and one that will presumably be worked out in the next version.
Kind regards,
 David

Hi,

 

I am trying to find the total solar load into a typical office space. The typical office only has one window with a shade and is currently facing south. I am trying to determine the solar load based on different glazing/shades. What output in the TRNBuild model would I use to determine such a load to the space?

 

Thanks for the help
