[TRNSYS-users] on cooled ceiling

[Enyuan Hu <bearcharge@gmail.com>]

Dear TRNSYSers,

I was wondering if anyone can help me on the cooled ceiling mode. Specifically, I have several questions:

1. how should the cooled ceiling layer be defined? can we define it as part of the roof layer (category EXTERNAL and orientation Horizontal) or should we define it separately? separate definition is my feeling after reviewing some literature.

2. how should we set up the layer parameters? in the manual, it indicates that parameters like norm area can be obtained from the producer, does that mean that's the only way to reasonably set up parameters and otherwise there will be problem?

3. if would be best if some user can generously provide an example on this. This may be asking too much, but I really think it would help indeed.

Thanks.
