Sample_DiffEq.f90 : This example component shows the user how the TRNSYS storage routines (setStorageSize(), setStorageVars(), and getStorageVars()) can be implemented so as to solve a simple differential equation in a Type. Click Here to Download the Example (includes Fortran code).

Type202 : This component implements a simplified infiltration model called the Sherman Grimsrud method. The model is presented in the 2005 ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals chapter 27:Ventilation and Infiltration. Click Here to Download the Install (includes dll, proformas, and documentation).

Type201 : This component combines the Standard Format data reader (Type89), the radiation processor (Type16), and the sky temperature model (Type69) into one component. The common connections between these components are all taken care of internally and in addition, Type201 provides outputs for heating and cooling season, annual and monthly maximum and minimum temperatures, and water mains temperature as defined by the Building America group. The components is available free of charge from this website. While similar in idea to the standard TRNSYS component Type109, Type201 differs in that it includes the calculation of effective (a.k.a. fiktive) sky temperature. It also provides ALL of the Type89 outputs instead of the Type109 subset and as mentioned above, it includes some useful weather related algorithms that were developed by the Building America group.

Adding New Glazing Systems Tutorial : As part of the introductory TRNSYS training courses that they teach, TESS wrote a tutorial that steps users through the process of adding new glazing systems for use with the TRNSYS multizone building model. The tutorial is also included along with approximately 100 new Type56 glazing systems in the TESS Green Building Library. Click Here to Download the Tutorial (.pdf document).
