Eunice,
I would not expect to obtain the same results from a Trnsys15 and
Trnsys17 simulation; we are continually trying to improve on the
models and to incorporate new algorithms so as to keep on top of best
modeling practices. In your email, you point out one possible
explanation for the difference in that the Trnsys17 building model
considers radiation exchange not only between the building walls and
the sky but also now between building walls and the ground.
Kind regards,
david

Dear all
I used trnsys 15 to simulate de heating and cooling needs of a 8
zone building (2 zones/ 4 levels) and now a I am using trnsys 17 and
not achieving the same results for the exact same building (it
varies from 5 to 20% more demanding) is this possible?
Conditions considered:
1-exactly the same constructive solution and windows
2-exactly the same simulation components (types:9, 16i, 69b ,33e, 56
and 25)
3-for 4 the new inputs in type 56:
type 16i provide the AZEN and AAZM
the TSGRD considered equal to TAMB
and GRDREF left to link
4-the heating and cooling needs previously obtained in the demands
file of the trnsys 15, are now beenig obtain (trnsys 17) with the
NTypes 1, 30 and 31.
All help will be appreciated, thanks
Eunice Fontao
