Re: [TRNSYS-users] Link between Window type 35a and multi zone building type 56a

Dear Christoph,

I would like to thank you very much for your answer.

Actually, I have solved this issue using the excel-visual basic. I have developed a code that reads the deck and build files and then replaces some predefined strings in these files with some values inserted in the excel file.

The drawback of this method is that the output results are not confined in one text file and rather a text file for each simulation of the parametric study is created and a method for reading all these files and extracting the required data from them is needed.

I hope this will be helpful for who is interested with parametric studies in buildings using Trnsys.

Best,

Dear Oussama,

I’m not sure how complicated your window model, but you are correct that there should be a “dummy” surface in Type 56.

Assuming that your window could be defined by

Surface-to-Surface thermal resistance Rc
Solar transmission
Secondary heat flux

You have 2 options:

The dummy surface is defined by wall with one massless layer (simple method).
- the layer has the resistance Rc
- The gains (Solar transmission + Secondary heat gains) are defined as
internal gains if it is ok that they are area weighted distributed or
as combination of inside wall gains (radiative part) and a convective internal gain (convective part)

The dummy surface is defined by window with a single layer (much more complicated because values need to be edited manul)
- a fixed transmission, no absorption and a surface-to-surface conductance
- the secondary heat flux is defined as
internal gains if it is ok that they are area weighted distributed or
as combination of inside wall gains (radiative part) and a convective internal gain (convective part)

I hope this information helps.

Marion

Dear Christoph,

I am working with Khaled on this issue.

I am wondering that if we linked the window type 35 to multi-zone building Type 56, how would Type 56 proceed with calculating the energy balance.

How could Type 56 take the area of the window into consideration and subtract the area of the wall from it?

The main objective is to perform parametric study for windows to wall ration (WWR).

Thanks in advance,

Oussama

Hey,

you just need to define Inputs in TRNBuild and then “Update building bariable list” by right click on TYPE 56 in Studio (please have a look into 5.2.3.3. Inputs in 05-MultizoneBuilding Docu). Then you can connect the window type with type 56.

Best,

Christoph

Dear All

could we have a link between Window type 35a and multi zone building type 56a

Best regards
