[TRNSYS-users] R 1347: Time-base, high insulation and high thermal mass combined with floor heating



Dear TRNSYS users,

I want to analyze the thermal behaviour of a dwelling with floor heating in detail. Attatched is a drawing of the floor construction. The time-base is set by 1 hour by default. I would like to set this time-base to a lower value (eg 15 minutes or less) to be able to analyse the reaction to change in occupancy with accordingly changing ventilation, heating setpoint and internal gain. However, the high thermla mass and high insulation value doesn't allow me to because the stability criteria are not fullfilled. ("Error creating the wall transfer coefficients: Stability criteria not fullfilled"). In a previous thread of the forum (
http://lists.onebuilding.org/pipermail/trnsys-users-onebuilding.org/2012-November/024387.html ) I read that there is a "trick" for this. You can devide one layer in the ground floor (e.g. the concrete slab) with an active layer. However, if I try I get the message that only one active layer is allowed. Is there another way to tackle this problem?

Kind regards,

Met vriendelijke groet,
Noortje Alders
