Re: [TRNSYS-users] Modelling- Building

Saif,
 There is a "virtual window" in the TRNBuild window libraries that you can use. Defining the airflow that occurs through such windows is not obvious and is best done by coupling your TRNSYS simulation with either a TRNFlow/COMIS simulation or with a CONTAM simulation.
kind regards,

I am trying to model a Reed House the problem is that the house has no real windows (with frames and glazing) it has only openings for natural lighting and ventilation (see attached photos). The Building is basically not 100% closed.
The question is whether to define these openings as windows, if yes how to define the windows' properties and if  not how to calculate the ventilation and solar gains.

thanks a lot
