Re: [TRNSYS-users] Window Study

[Richard Heimrath <heimrath@tugraz.at>]

Hello Patrick!

If you really want to compare different shading systems, trnsys is not the 'right' program ...
Try 'ParaSol' from the university of lund (sweden). A lot of different shading systems, a window database and one room behind ... the best software for your problem !

with sunny regards

Hi everyone,

 

I want compare different shading devices on a façade but do not want to create the whole building. Has anyone used or is it accurate to use Type 34 with Type687 and make the window the total façade size?? Is there a better approach?

 

Thanks for any advice.
