Re: [TRNSYS-users] Setting for active layer

["Matt Duffy" <duffy@tess-inc.com>]

Dear Chun Kwong LEE,

It depends how you add your windows in Type56 in version 16; there are two
ways. You can simply add your windows with the "Additional Windows"
category, and the window area will be added separately to that wall
orientation. The other way is to implement the window to your particular
wall of interest. This will subtract the window area to your total wall
area.

Best regards,

Matt Duffy

Subject:[TRNSYS-users] Setting for active layer

Hello, all.

I want to investigate a building zone equipped with radiant wall cooling.  I
define an active layer for the external walls.  However, I have one query.
According to the manual page 6-44, the pipe lengths are calculated based
on the
wall area, pipe spacing and no. of loops.  Does the wall area exclude the
windows?  Please advise.  Thank you!

Best Regards
