Just as in real life a thermostat cannot get information from more than one sensor so too the TRNSYS thermostat model can only monitor one temperature (although it shouldn't crash if you try to connect more than one; we'll look into that). You need to decide in which Type56 zone your thermostat is going to be located. The temperature control in the other parts of the building isn't going to be as good but again, that is how a building works in reality. You can of course feed the Type56 zone temperatures through an equation or a component that takes the average temperature of the Type56 zones and then allow your thermostat to monitor the average temperature rather than a specific temperature.
kind regards,

Dear TRNSYS users,I am modelling the performance of an air to water heat pump (Type 941) used for heating a greenhouse (Type 56) that consists of three zones. Each of the zones housed different crops and the temperature is to be conditioned by a thermostat (Type 166) using temperature level control mechanism. Anytime I connect multiple output (zone temperatures) from Type 56 to the same input in Type 166 (monitoring temperature), TRNSYS will shut down by itself.
Please how do I solve this problem or is there any other alternative?
Thank you.
