[TRNSYS-users] TRNBUILD thermal bridge



Dear Trnsys Users,

I have a problem about a bug for thermal bridge, I find an answer in the archives but ...:

Thanks for finding this bug. I think it is only a problem of displaying
the units. The resistance should be entered in h m^2K /kJ, and not h m
K /kJ. When you check on the 'Layer type manager', the resistance is
shown in h m^2K /kJ.

The u-value displayed in the 'Wall type manager' is calculated by adding
two reference heat transfer coefficients to the wall (7.7 and 25 W/m^2 K).

Best regards,

... in "Walls" when I choose a coldbridge I can put the value for length in m , not a surface in m^2.

What is the solution?
If the solution is all in m^2, how can I change a linear thermal bridge to surface thermal bridge?

Thanks in advance,

Matt
