[TRNSYS-users] modellling a transpired (perforated) solar collector facade
Hi All,
I am posting this on behalf of a colleague who is looking for a suitable simulation software for a particular research project.
I'm looking for a method of modellling a transpired (perforated) solar collector facade on a large building. I'd like to look at different variables (e.g. pitch and size of perforations, distance between facade and wall, airflow, meteorological variations, etc) and how this affects the relationship of the collector with the building and any existing/backup heating/cooling services.
Could anyone reply with a comment on whether TRNSYS is suitable for this modelling exercise and if yes, what are the components required (if any) from the TRNSYS-related libraries or any others available out there?
Thank you in advance for your replies,
Regards
Eleni
