Re: Operative temperature in a house with Solar Floor heating and PCM in floor

["David Bradley" <bradley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As part of TRNSYS 15, Transsolar added a floor heating model directly into
Type56 - you might contact them directly for specifics of the model to see
if it will suit your purpose. There are also a number of floor heating
types which operate seperate from the building model.
Cheers,
