Laldje, You can set a dehumidification (and humidification) set point in TRNBuild and Type56 will calculate the latent energy removal/addition required to meet that setpoint. I'm afraid I do not know whether the treatment is adiabatic or not. In my experience you have to be a little careful with this because the dehumidification/humidification can occur without either sensible heating or cooling occurring. However, more often in an actual building, what we really care about is a temperature set point and some latent cooling occurs as a result of cooling down the air that is used to provide the sensible cooling. If this is your case then there is a component in the TESS Loads and Structures library that gives an empirical estimate of the latent cooling that occurs as a consequence of providing sensible cooling. We use that model in order to estimate a total cooling load for building spaces. kind regards, David On 4/20/2015 4:45 AM, sylvie laldje
