Hi, everybody
Happy Season!
I must include the effect of some coldbridges in a building simulation.
According to type 56 and Trnbuild chapter of Trnsys 17 manual, the user must provide data of Thermal Resistance to create a
massless CBR-named coldbridged effect layer. Solar Absorptance of Wall,
Longwave Emission Coefficient and
Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient of Wall must also
be included but,
since this is a massless layer, would current wall values be OK?
Length and
orientation are also to be provided by Trnbuild but, when I reach this point,
no input gap is available for the first one: Somehow, length has already been calculated. How could I solve this problem? Did any of you face the same situation?
Last, I would like to know whether a coldbridge produced like this would cover the whole wall surface.
In case it was smaller and it would only regard a fraction of the wall, how could I replicate
such condition in Trnbuild?
Hope any of you can help me.
Best regards
