Thread-topic: heat loss through ground floor in calculation of heating load

Dear All,

I have a question related to heat loss through ground floor in calculation of total annual heating load. What if I consider default construction material defined in TRNSYS? I know it is not accurate method. The accurate method is to consider TYPE 49 which assign heat capacity and conductivity to the soil and then does calculation. But I don't know how to implement TYPE 49 in TRNSYS model, and I don’t want now due to time constraints. Any suggestion to handle this issue in a simple way with minimum errors please? Thank you

Regards,

Virk
