[TRNSYS-users] Ventilation VS cooling & heating

[Chou Shen <csz59@mst.edu>]

Hi

Thanks to David and Matt, you messages have helped me a lot. Now I know how to use type 24 & 25 to get monthly summary. 

At this time I have some other questions:
1. When Editing type 56, in the Ventilation lable, the Heating and Cooling option can be set up by defining airchange rate and temperature & RH of air flow; while in both the Cooling lable and Heating lable, the cooling and heating option can be set up by defining cooling / heating power (does that mean I need to estimate the cooling / heating load before set this block up?), and the setpoint temperature & RH. As a result, type 56 provides two methods to define HVAC system. What's the relationships between the two methods?. 

2. In addition to adding the information of HVAC in type 56, do I need to creat the HVAC system in to get the information of energy consumption of HVAC system?

Thanks!
