Andreas,
Try changing your walls, roof, and floor to a "resistance
only" construction, with a U-value equal to the mass wall construction. This
will eliminate mass storage effects, and then if your heating demands
match, then you know it's the mass.

quadratic office building. One of my Outputs in TRNSYS is the heat
demand (Qheat). Can someone explain me, how TRNSYS calculate
the heat demand (Qheat) ? If I calculate the heat demand with a
?static calculation tool? or per hand, then I have a difference of 40 percent to
the dynamic result of TRNSYS. Are only the dynamic effects (e.g. storage
capacity) the reasons? And are 40 - 60 percent realistic Thank you for your
answers. Best regards Andreas ___________________________________ Université du
