Re: [TRNSYS-users] Heating limit temperature



<No! I would like to turn off my heating in case the average daily temperature is higher than 12°C !! The main idea behind this is to represent the amount of heating days (depending on the climate zone, mostly 222days)>


Do you want to look at the last 24 hours when making your decision or the current day?  If you want to look at the last 24 hours then use the moving average calculator.  If you want to look at the current day (which would in reality require a forecast) then you should pre-process the weather file and create another data file which contains the "on" or "off" signal for the day.  But to be honest, if you've got the model correct, a standard thermostat will turn on and off the heating equipment when it's needed and you can adjust the building parameters and occupant behavior to tune the model to get to your magical 222 days (not sure how you got that number).

Michael,
 
can you try to explain this more clearly?
Is what you want to do to turn off the heating in case the average daily tempearture is below 12 °C?

Dear all,
I´m looking for an easy solution to adjust a heating limit temperature (No heating power, if the average day temperature is higher than 12°C).
Is it better to use the moving average or the integrator??
I already did it in EXCEL because my first ambition was just to calculate Qheat. But if my simulation won´t end at  calculating, but using the net Qheat it´s a very uncomfortable solution.
Thanks in advance
Best,
Michael
