[TRNSYS-users] How many zones?



I am modelling a 2-floor domestic property.  The 2 floors are connected by an open hall, stairs and landing.  A thermostat is located in the hall.

A single heating system (GSHP) will need to supply heat to both floors (under floor heating or low temperature radiators.)

What is the easiest way of modelling this;  I'm thinking:

1) Use 2 zones;  One for upstairs and one for down stairs.
2) Each zone has an emitter.
3) Each emitter is a load on the same heating system.  Is it easy to represent parallel heating circuits from a single heat source?  What components should I be looking at?

Any comments welcome.

Thanks

Paul
