Artemi, It sounds to me as though you are on the correct track. A very similar technique is used by the multi-zone slab-on-grade model that will be released with Trnsys17, by the various ground coupling components in the TESS Libraries (including a multi-zone basement). The same technique is also used in a phase change material (PCM) wall component that was developed at the Institute of Thermal Engineering at the University of Technology Graz. You can find a link about the PCM component at: http://intraweb.stockton.edu/eyos/energy_studies/content/docs/FINAL_PAPERS/11B-4.pdf Kind regards, David Artemi Spanaki wrote:
