Re: [TRNSYS-users] type 686 heat gain

[David BRADLEY <d.bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Karol,
  Type686 is an attempt at making a building model without actually making a building. It generates a profile that has many of the same characteristics of a building's overall heating and cooling loads. It has a number of "randomization" parameters that allow you to change the characteristics of the profile (to change its "signal to noise ratio" if I may borrow a term from the electrical engineers out there...) I don't see why you couldn't use its profiles as though they were energy gains into a more traditional building model. I would recommend that you play around with the Type and make sure that the profile that it is generating makes good sense to you and also make sure that it is not generating any unrealistically high energy gain values over the course of the simulation year.
Kind regards,
 David

Dear Users,

 

Sorry for so many question, but I get TESS Models Library and I try to complete suitable modules to my project.

 

Is there any contradictions to use type 686 as generator of heat gain in household instead of heating/cooling load?

It seems to me that this two issues have quite similar character as a function of time.

 

Thank in advance for your tips!

 

Regards,

Karol
