Re: [TRNSYS-users] How to get the lighting consumption from TYPE56

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

 Dear Jiang ZHU,

I simply set up a normalized schedule with a component from the TESS Applications Library. The output of this schedule component is the input to the equation block. In the equation block, I create a constant for the total energy consumption, and make an output which is a product of the constant and the schedule input. This output from the equation block is then passed to the input(created in TRNBuild) to Type56.

Best regards,

Matt Duffy

 Dear Matt Duffy:
  Thank you very much for your sharing. i don't know how to use the equation to scale the gain, i can understand to set the schedule for the lighting and equipment consumption with different scale number. Would you please tell me more details about how to employ the equation to scale the gain? I really appreciate it.

And i think QGCONV is the heat grain from convection, it is different from the energy consumption.
Thank you very much!

Best regards!

Dear Jiang,

Did you look for the appropriate output (NTYPE) in the TRNBuild documentation. It appears taht QGCONV might work.

On the other hand, we typically define our gains with schedule components from the TESS Applications Library and use EQUATIONS in the Simulation Studio to scale the gains accordingly which are then passed to Type56 as inputs for these different gains (lighting, equipment, occupancy). We can then calculate and output these gains in the Simulation Studio with a Type46 Printegrator.

Hey, there!

Does anyone know how to get the lighting and computer consumption from the building type56? I already set up everything well in the TREDBUILD, but i dont know how to get the output. Thank you very much

 

 

Best Regards!
