[TRNSYS-users] building simulation

[Matthias Maier <matthiasmaier90@googlemail.com>]

Hi TRNSYS-users,

I am studying electrical engineering at the Technical University of Munich and currently I am writing my bachelor´s thesis at the Institute for Energy Economy and Application Technology. My subject is the comparison and assessment of various building simulation programs. Background of this thesis is the development of an automatized demand side management for commercial buildings, in case of the emergence of a dynamic electricity tariff in Germany. Therefor a whole thermal simulation of the building and it´s HVAC systems would be necessary.

One of my tasks is to estimate the costs for the implementation of a building including its HVAC systems. For this reason I selected an example building to estimate the costs for (added in the attachment). Support referred me to this user service. I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me how long it takes to implement this example building including its HVAC to TRNSYS and perform a high-resolution simulation (minute-basis) for a eperienced user.

Thank you for your attention.

Regards,

Matthias Maier
