First, the heating type in TRNBuild is quite separate from the
energy delivered by a radiant floor. If you have defined and are
feeding hot water to a radiant floor then you should turn off the
heating type in that zone. If you don't then the heating type will
automatically keep the zone at the desired setpoint and your radiant
floor will not have anything to do. Second, you have to decide how you want to define the energy delivered to the radiant floor. If you compute q = m Cp (Tin - Tout) on the liquid side of the radiant floor then you are looking at the amount of energy that was delivered to the radiant floor from the liquid loop. You'll need to look through the Type56 outputs for the liquid outlet temperature for your radiant floor. All the other variables (m, Cp, and Tin) will come from the component upstream of the radiant floor. If, on the other hand, you want to see how much energy was delivered from the radiant floor to the zone then you'll need to look at the Type56 QCOMI output. The different between the two (QCOMI and the energy delivered from the loop to the floor) is the amount of energy that is being stored in the floor for the current time step. kind regards, David On 05/21/2018 01:32, berkane ahlem via
