Abdulhameed,The most flexible way of including lighting in Type56 is to define a new GAIN in your zone. The gain can be set as a constant value, a scheduled value, or as an input. If you set it as an input then you can pass whatever value you like into the building. The heat gain from the lighting might come from an equation. The complexity will come from the controls. The controls may be other equations or another component. The TESS Green Building library contains a number of lighting control Types that might be of some interest.

Dear Trnsys users, I have trynsys 17 installed.

I am working on lighting controls in a multi-zone building. Regards.
