Re: [TRNSYS-users] Capacitance in TRNBuild
Ole,
As david mentioned the Type 56 window doesn't account of any thermal capacity of glazing and frame.

Ole,
The conduction transfer function method (which takes into account the capacitance of the walls) is used for walls, ceilings, roofs, floors, etc. It is not used for the windows nor their frames. I don't think that the Type56 window model attributes any thermal capacitance to the windows or window frames.
best,
David
