[TRNSYS-users] Cooling loads... Strange results



Dear Trnsys Users,

I'm working on a rather big building, and I have a strange behaviour, that I don't understand. The cooling loads computed by Trnsys follow a normal pattern, except some days, for one or 2 points that ar 3 to 4 times greater than the baseline.
I've attached a picture to explain it better.

I've thought it was a bug in my inputs, so I tried to disable solar radiations, temperature, internal gains, I double checked my schedules, I... and I found nothing. Actually I found some minor errors, and they had an effect on the pattern (for example the "pikes" appear later in the year), but the behaviour is still erratic.

So, is it possible that a convergence problem (even though I have a 10^-3 tolerance convergence) makes this erratic behaviour ? It is a big building, with shading masks, internal windows, high coupling air flows (exactly in the zones that show the unexplainable loads), and the simulation takes a pretty long time.

I Hope someone has some answer, because I really don't see!..

Thanks in advance
