Hello David,
thank you for your answer. I´ve tried it. The
following steps were performed:
I defined 6 orientations of walls to external:
Northwest (Wall to external)/ Southeast (Wall to external)/
Northeast (Wall to external)/ Northwest with a slope of 37
degrees (sloping roof)/ Southeast with a slope of 37 degrees
(sloping roof)/ Northeast with a slope of 37 degrees
(sloping roof).
At Type109 I defined 6 surfaces with the
following parameters:
Surface1/Slope of surface 0/Azimuth of surface
225
Surface2/Slope of surface 0/Azimuth of surface
135
Surface3/Slope of surface 0/Azimuth of surface
315
Surface4/Slope of surface 37/Azimuth of surface
225
Surface5/Slope of surface 37/Azimuth of surface
135
Surface6/Slope of surface 37/Azimuth of surface
315
Then I connected the outputs with the inputs by
Type56.
Is it the right way?
I get a fatal
error: “Error in automatic heat transfer calculation for
surface 1 or its adjacent surface!: Automatic heat
transfer calculation is only allowed on surfaces within a
zone. Please check building input file (.bui)”, but I think
it has a different reason.
Thank you for
your help.

Marcus
Marcus,
It depends somewhat on what component you are using to model
the attic. However, almost without exception, you need to
define the slope and azimuth of the attic roof surfaces in
your weather component (Type15 probably) and then pass the
appropriate solar radiation outputs from that component to the
appropriate inputs of your building component.
Regards,
David

Hello TRNSYS-users,
I try to simulate few
rooms in an attic. I don´t understand how I can describe a
sloping surface (like a sloping roof) with TRNSYS. Maybe you
can help me.
Thanks for your time.
Marcus
