Ken,The easiest way that I have found to do this is to define the gain as an INPUT instead of as a constant value or a schedule. You can either take the convective and radiative power as inputs or you can set the radiative and convective powers to constant values that represent the fraction of the gain that is convective and radiative (for example, if your cooling is 90% radiative and 10% convective, set the convective power to 0.1 and the radiative power to 0.9). Then you set the scale of the gain as an input. This number will then be the total cooling of your open case, will be passed to Type56 as a single value, and will be broken up into its convective and radiative parts. Note that in the above example, I assumed that the gain is 100% sensible, which is probably not the case. You can add in a dehumidifying effect as well by passing a negative latent gain to the space using another INPUT.

Dear TRNSYS users, I am trying to model a cold source, like an opened showcase of some drinks in a store. TRNBuild does not allow to set a negative value to Gains. Now, instead of this way, I think to use ventilation with low temperature air. But if thre is a direct way to set negative gains to zones, I will adopt it. Thanks in advance for your help.
