[TRNSYS-users] About building loads calculation in TRNSYS

[Catherine <xueyushuiyun@gmail.com>]

        I want to calculate the building loads when the flat-plate collector stick to the flat roof , but , how to achieve it using TRNSYS ? Well , I tend to utilize the Type 56 for building model .By the way , my building is an ordinary six-storey residential building .And there is no air gap between the collectors and the roof-covering . As well as collectors completely covered the flat roof , except the location for lacing the water tank .
       On the one hand , since the collector block the radiation for the roof , which alters the energy balance of building , as well as causes changes in building loads. On the other hand , for the original building , after the collector added to the roof, the thermal resistance increases , with the building heat through the roof decreasing .

        Wish some suggestions .
