After creating the building model using TRNBuild, which is a TRNSYS's interface creating and editing all of the non-geometrical information required by TRNSYS Building Model, interior conditions of the building was simulated in order to identify monthly energy balance in the building as well as annual number of uncomfortable working hours without heating and cooling.

This week, I have conducted a dynamic thermal simulation using the simulation package TRNSYS in order to analyze the influence of individual measures and to compare the thermal behavior of the two areas within the building using different variants. Energy balances were conducted for different thermal zones in order to analyze the thermal behavior and to determine the energy requirements of the building.

I have found that the ability of night ventilation is an effective approach as a passive cooling technique in order to improve comfort condition during the summer months. Therefore, I would like to develop a TRNSYS model with a night ventilation configuration for the building which could be challenging for me and therefore, I would like to discuss these issues in next meeting.
