Kent,Changing the window glazing ID to 10001 (no glazing) will allow solar to pass unhindered through the building envelope. I am not sure it captures all of the changes that you want because when your in indoor-pool mode, you want the pool's water mass exchange to occur between the pool surface and the trapped zone air. When you go to outdoor pool mode, however, the pool exchanges water mass with ambient air. I would think that at the least, you would also want to add a very large infiltration amount into your zone when you go into outdoor mode. As for the switch between indoor and outdoor mode, I took a really quick look at the component and it looks like if you moved some of the parameters to inputs, you could hot-swap the pool model in the middle of the simulation. If you did that, you could come up with whatever algorithm or forcing function you wanted to switch back and forth between indoor and outdoor modes.

Hello Trnsys users, Anyone at Transsolar who developed these models (or others) considered the possibility of using both the indoor and outdoor pool models during the simulation of one pool? First guess is that it might involve outputting data from the last time step of the indoor pool model to a file, reading that into the outdoor pool at X timestep, then back to the indoor pool later in theyear. Is there a more sensible approach?Also, to this end, I am not sure how to approach the Hour of the relevant yearly weather data file and keeping it synchronized with the Hour at which the simulation would switch from indoor, to outdoor, then back to indoor again.
